When Faith Meets UFOs: A Christian Perspective on The Immaculate ConstellationFor many Christians, UFO sightings present an intriguing problem. Are they real? And if so, what are they? It hasn't helped that for decades, the U.S. government dismissed reports of unidentified flying objects, labeling witnesses as delusional or fabricating stories. Yet, in recent years, with the rise of recorded evidence—saucers, glowing orbs, mysterious lights, and unexplained visitations—the narrative has started to shift.Could the tide be turning because of what's been caught on camera? And what should we make of the recent whistleblower claims about a government program called The Immaculate Constellation? What is this program’s purpose, and more importantly, who or what is controlling it—or hiding it from the world.On this episode of The Parker J. Cole show, join me as I chat with my guest co-host and contributor Zackary Russel, co-host of Fantastical Truth as we discuss the odd, the weird, the blessed, and the secret things surrounding this topic.

Every four years, the United States holds a General election to elect the next president and vice president. However, rather than hold the election through a popular vote of its citizens, the US uses a special system for these election: the Electoral College. It is madeup of a body of electors who are meant to represent the populations of their states, and these presidential elctors cast votes to determine both the president and vice president of the USA. In order to be elected, a president and vice president must win an absolute majority (or 51%) of the Electoral College vote or 270 votes. This is considered one of th enations oldest structural racial entitlement programs and its most consequential...The Electoral College!

From writing, to faith, to weird TV shows as she talks about her books and we showcase her newest release called: All Ye That Pass: Gone for a Soldier, her American Revolution novel.If you don a scarlet coat at the price of your conscience, the color will only remind you of the wound in your own soul! If you sign away the faith of your fathers, all lesser goods will be forfeited too!”Young Edmund Southworth could not have foreseen the path his life would take upon befriending Gentleman Johnny Burgoyne, British military veteran and parliamentarian. As Catholic recusants from the north of England, Edmund’s once noble family has struggled to survive for centuries in the shadow of the Anglican ascendancy. But General Burgoyne offers him the chance to put past humiliations behind him by joining the Church of England and donning a scarlet coat as an officer of King George III. Although his conscience is uneasy, Edmund embarks upon Burgoyne’s March to subdue the American revolutionaries by splitting the colonies in two. He finds unexpected love in the arms of Abby Vanderkamp, a supporter of American independence, who will do anything to free her father from a British prison hulk or, failing that, strike a blow for the hard-pressed rebel cause. As the British advance through the New York wilderness devolves into increasing brutality and instability, Edmund will have his already divided loyalties tested to the breaking point under the influence of this hostile land which presents him with new challenges and opportunities alike.Listen in at 646-668-8485.

But the court's commited while in office. but the court's decision isn't as clear cut as Harris' remarks make it seem. It declares that "official" acts by presidents are protecte, but steps taken as a candidate are not.

By loading up on the flags, by hugging and kissing the flag, as Trump did in 2018 after a speech to the National Federation of Independent Business and again at the Conservative Political Action Conference in 2019 and 2020, Ms Chervinsky continued, Mr. Trump is taking the tradition a step further. "He's trying to equate himself with patriotism and nationalism," she said. And his dressing to match is, she said, "the most visual representation of that."As Henry Ward Beecher, the 19th century clergyman said in 1861, "A thoughful mind, when it sees a nation's flag, sees not the flag, but the nation itself."

Margaret Sanger, the controversial founder of the PPFA held the beliefs of Eugenics. A set of beliefs and practices that aim to improve the genetic quality of a human population also called scientific racism. The Eugenics movement later became associated with Nazi Germany and the Holocaust. The Eugenics Movement in the United States was more about preserving the position of the dominant groups in the population. The people that found themselves to be the targets of the eugenics movement were those who were seen as unfit for society- the poor, the disabled, the mentally ill, and specific communities of color and a disproportionate number of those who fell victim to eugenicists' sterilization initiatives were women who were identified as African American, Asian American, or Native American. Now let's talk about Planned Parenthood...
Birthed from the Eugenics Movement, practices of contraception are still a controversial matter as they carry with them the history of states in the US targeting and deciding whowas allowed or desired to reproduce. As a result in some parts of the south, this gave rise to a phenomenon known as the Mississippi Appendectomy in the 1920s-1980s. This was the medical practice that provided involuntary steriliztion to poor, black women who were deemed unfit to reproduce. The term itself was coined by Fannie Lou Hamer, who was a civil rights activist who was also sterilized without her consent.

He yearns to join the priesthood of Ba’al Melqart, unlock the power of the rain god, and hear the deity’s voice. He’s been warned the licentious ceremony can take a dangerous turn, but as eldest son of the high priestess, he holds a privileged position. If he can make it through the ceremony, one day he’ll rise to high priest.On the eve of the rituals, Aban’s mother confesses a dark secret about the bloody sacrifice demanded by Melqart. Aban may have escaped the flames, but if he is to save his brother, Aban must take his destined position of power as soon as possible.When the mysterious prophet Elijah interrupts the rites, overturns the idol, and curses the land with drought, Aban’s world is shaken. The current high priest and the king appear powerless, but even more confusing is the fact that the rain god does nothing.Against his better judgment, Aban conceals the strange prophet’s whereabouts, forfeiting the high priesthood. Now an enemy of the relentless Queen Jezebel, Aban has little time to question his fading commitment to Ba’al Melqart as he and his loved ones flee.

Many Catholics have either left the Church or been scandalized by the errors or immorality rampant in her clergy. We’ve watched as faithful Catholics have been restricted or punished without just cause, while those who confuse, contradict, or undermine the Faith are elevated. In this urgent book, the authors notice an apparent absurdity: those most disciplined by the Church at this time are often least deserving of correction. This protracted state of confusion and injustice, plain for all to see, has shaken the faith of millions.Far from being another diatribe, these pages provide a deeply illuminating historical perspective, revealing how this chaotic period in the Church is hardly unprecedented — or unpredicted. Instead, it represents a recurring feature of life in the Church throughout her history and is even a part of the divine plan. With this context, you will make sense of and discover solutions to our present suffering. You will learn:When to obey — and when to disobey — a priest or bishop; how several saints were purified and sanctified by unholy superiorsWhat not to do when responding to the crisis of persecution in the ChurchHow Christ both predicted and prefigured the sufferings of His Church at the hands of wicked prelatesPractical ways you can respond and share the truthAchievable means to embolden your faith and remain obedient while correcting errorHow to talk to non-Catholics about the pandemic of filth and error in the Church ... and more!Join me as I chat with former speech writer for President Donald Trump, Alec Torres, as we air out the dirty laundry of the church to help strengthen our faith on Saturday, January 13th at 2 pm Eastern time.

In an age of rising unbelief, top Catholic thinkers show how, more than ever, both science and reason affirm the words of the great Catholic poet Gerard Manley Hopkins: “The world is charged with the grandeur of God.” This book clears up common misconceptions regarding intelligent design, showing why it is an argument not from ignorance but from knowledge and how the evidence for God’s design of the natural world is growing by: exploring scientific evidence from experts in cosmology, paleontology, genetics, chemistry, and biology. Further, you will learn about the purpose of creation, transcendent beauty, and the distinctiveness of the human person. Lastly, the theology behind creation and how it reflects God’s glory and concludes with Dr. Anthony Esolen’s essay on the “symphonic order” of the universe, masterfully drawing from science, mathematics, literature, and philosophy.Also included: What the Church really teaches about evolution How neo-Thomists wrongly apply Aquinas’s thinking to evolution; Characteristics that distinguish humans from the rest of creation; Why materialistic scientists resist the Big Bang Theory; How to understand the biblical account of Creation and more!You will learn how the understanding of ancient philosophers and Aquinas regarding the mind-brain connection, coupled with modern neuroscience support intelligent design and the creation of man as not only a material being but a spiritual being.The entire book will strengthen you as never before in the belief that the world is the creation of an intelligent and intentional Designer―One whose greatest longing is for you to spend all eternity with Him.

Being afraid of dying because sometimes some people are afraid that they are not going to heaven because they didn't live the way they was told to do.Sometimes they did good, but didn't want to go under the water because they were afraid.
Happy New Year! Welcome back to another year of Write Stuff where we bring Christian authors from all over the world! Today on the show...Religion is outlawed. On Earth and on colonies across the stars, those who cling to their faith are labeled "religious extremists" and forced into re-education camps.Dex D’Felco never planned on getting involved. He was a rising star in the United Coalition Navy, an ace pilot in command of the “Angels”—the UCN’s most prestigious fighter squadron. But when he learns that a colony of religious refugees is under attack, Dex makes a split-second decision that costs him his once-promising career. Now interstellar fugitives, Dex and the Angels fight to survive against a force more terrifying than any of them could have ever imagined.Meanwhile, Darik Mason, an ambitious junior executive at JenKore, begins to uncover a dark secret within his company. His search for answers sets him on a collision course with the Angels—with thousands of innocent lives hanging in the balance.With its exotic locations, high-tech espionage, and thrilling space battles, Flight of the Angels (book one in the series) is exhilarating and immersive, setting a bold new standard for religious science fiction.Join me as I chat with father and son writing duo about their book on Tuesday, January 2nd at 7 pm Eastern time.

Torn between faith and forbidden romance, a beautiful descendant of Adam and Eve must overcome her troubled past to gain the respect she deserves.Headstrong and clairvoyant, Zyla struggles to find her place within her patriarchal tribe. After being rejected for her gift of foresight, she flees to the enemy clan of the murderer Cain and becomes the favored second wife of her sister's prestigious husband. Growing increasingly determined to gain renown as a seer, Zyla dares to align with dangerous spiritual powers that threaten to create a schism with her God. Will she be able to reveal her true destiny or lose faith in the Creator and forever stain her soul?In part 2 of exploring antediluvian fiction, I chatted with Jean Hoefling as she puts her spin on the first polygamous marriage mentioned in scripture with Lamech and his two wives. In exploring this niche genre, I'd read many tales but I hadn't read one from a feminine perspective like this which is introspective and focusing more on how women may have been during the time period. Exploring situations that are uniquely female, we delve into the world that once was as a woman tries to find acceptance in an impossible situation.Listen in as we chat by calling 646-668-8485.

"I will put enmity between the Serpent and the Woman, between his offspring and hers." A prophecy spoken by God Himself. Upon leaving Eden, the conflict between mankind and the Fallen was only beginning. Enmity between the children of man and the offspring of the Serpent raged from one generation to the next. The Watchers, fallen angels allied with the Serpent, came to earth to steal the daughters of man. The Watchers were worshipped as gods and corrupted humanity with forbidden knowledge. Seth is the third son of Adam and Eve. He has fought to defend his family for almost five hundred years in the bloody and savage antediluvian world. Seth longs for peace, but a new conspiracy of evil is rising. Angels, giants and men will clash as the fate of humanity hangs in the balance. Seth's skills, faith, and resolve will be tested as he fights to protect his people from annihilation at the hands of the Watchers and their monstrous offspring. I love antediluvian fiction, a niche market of Christian fiction. These authors tackle the period of time before the Great Flood. These stories range from a high-tech world such as Dan Cook's book, "Ithyanna, Last Daughter of Atlantis Book i" or THE K. G. Powderly's Noahic epic Windows of Heaven series. There's also Dennis Bailey's Army of God, simplifying the pre-Flood world from the godly line of Seth, sans any supernatural interference. From Donovan Neal's genre splitting Third Heaven Series, to J. C. Lamount's Prophecy of the Heir: Primordium, to Jeremy Richard's the Scarlet Thread: The Genesis, I've had great pleasure of showcasing these authors and others in this genre.On this episode of Write Stuff I chat with Paul J.

Knowing who you are is the secret to just about everything. So much of what we do and say revolves around how we see ourselves, and how we see ourselves depends on how we perceive the God. The connection might seem elusive at first, but living in victory over sin is intricately tied to our identity. When the serpent tempted Adam and Eve to “be like God,” was that not about their identity? All of the sin, death, and destruction in our world are rooted in an identity issue.The gospel, we must understand, is an identity message. God does not just provide for us a future destiny, but also a current identity. Life in this world is never ideal, but only those who know of God’s goodness and understand their significance in His eyes can break free from the commonality and corruption that plagues our planet.It is imperative that we lay hold of our identity in Christ because genuinely walking with the Lord will put us out of step with the world around us—even those we are trying to help. If we do not know who we are, we will find ourselves living for the approval of others and neglecting God’s good plans and purposes as a result!Even though the glory of God’s children is hidden to most of this world, the reality of who we become in Christ seems almost too good to be true. It is true, though, and through the eye of faith, we can discover significance, wholeness, and freedom like never before as the Almighty Creator clothes us with His glory. No earthly significance can compare.Join me as I chat with my returning guest co-host and contributor Bob Santos as we talk about his devotional on Saturday, December 9th at a special time of 6 pm Eastern time.

Junior Rabbit and Papa Rabbit were in the living room reading a book entitled, "Loony the Loon and the Littered Lake." Papa said that the book was a very good book. Papa said that sometimes people are careless about where they put their garbage.What is Christmas? asked Junior. "It is a time when people rememberd the little baby who was born to save humans from their sins so they can go to heaven to be with Him after he dies."So, at Christmas time most humans start being nice to other humans no matter who they are or how they look.
In Doug Woodward's book, Rebooting the Bible: Exposing the Second Century Conspiracy to Corrupt the Scripture and Alter Biblical Chronology. The book reveals the hidden history of a Second Century A.D. rabbinic conspiracy altering the words of the Old Testament to stop the massive conversion of Jews to the Christian faith. These early alterations (ca.A.D. 90-120) sought to obscure the Bible's Messianic prophecies, concealing passages most often used by Christian evangelists proclaiming that Jesus was the Jewish Messiah. The former Pharisees (cum Rabbis) reduced biblical chronology by 1,600 years, compressing the crucial events of Genesis (e.g., the Flood, the invasion of the Nephilim, and the Tower of Babel). This truncated chronology damaged the Bibless witness regarding ancient history which continues to have a vast impact on Evangelicals today.Join me as we take a look at such questions as:Is the KJV bible flawed? What's the difference between flawed and inerrant? What are the fundamentals between the masoretic texts and the Septuagint texts? What was the purpose of altering the chronology? We'll be discussing these things and more today on this episode on Wednesday, December 6th at 7 pm Eastern. You can listen in at 646-668-8485 and press one to be live on air.

As we study the Bible, we may believe we are far removed from the people described on those pages. After all, many played significant roles in helping Jesus spread the gospel. Most of us find it difficultif not impossibleto picture ourselves in that disciple-type role because we are sinful and dont always make the wisest decisions.In Characters of the Bible: Finding My Stories in Their Stories, author David Waddell shares his discovery of his similarity to characters in the Bible. He found a relationship with the woman in John 8:111. He saw himself in a crowd of Pharisees urging punishment of a woman who did something they had done or wanted to do. Waddell was the woman looking for love in all the wrong places. He was the woman at the mercy of Jesus who was forgiven of all her sins without defending herself. Waddell realized the connection he had with biblical characters because like him, and like us, they were sinful. And if were truthful with ourselves, we can be mean, deceitful, conniving, and abusing, just like many people described in the Bible. Yet God used them for His purposes, and He will use us if we let Him.I love chatting with David Waddell. He always makes me laugh. His humor and the ability to laugh at himself as well show us the humor the Lord has in many situations is always wonderful to reflect upon so join me in the conversation on Wednesday, December 6th at 7:00 pm Eastern time.

The war between Israel and Palestine has been called a Holy War. This conflict has been going on for years. A two state solution has not worked and the Palestinian people have been oppressed and compared to the apartheid in South Africa. Is this war because the terrorist group Hamas funded by Iran bombed and kidnap over 200 people from Israel or is their more than meets the eye. Is this really smoke and mirrors and the real cause of this conflict to create a new canal named the Ben Gurion canal named after the first Prime Minister of Israel? We will talk about this and let's see where this rabbit hole leads us...

I have noticed someone in church not noticing who was speaking, but looking around and trying to see other people who they were and what their wearing. I noticed nothing. When I was in the funeral and I did not notice what people were wearing and what they were saying. I only were looking at the person lying in the coffin.In a funeral you can be very quiet and still or very nervous and loud, but either way can be one or the other.
We received an overwhelmingly positive response to our series, 'Into the Twilight Zone,' featuring my co-host, podcaster Rod Smith Jr. from the Millennial Mustard Seed Podcast. Due to the overwhelming interest, I have invited him back for part two.As previously mentioned, I firmly believe that Christians should embrace the reality of the supernatural, including spiritual warfare and the hidden agendas intertwined with it. In today's episode, we delve into the possible connection between our dreams, nightmares, and artificial intelligence. We will explore how artificial intelligence may plays a role. It's a trippy episode and I hope you'll come with us for another ride on the rollercoaster into the odd, the strange, and the supernatural.Join us on this journey into the Twilight Zone on Monday, October 30th, at the special time of 6 pm Eastern time.

I believe that of all faith groups, Christians should be the ones to readily accept instances of the supernatural. We serve a supernatural Lord who warns of spiritual warfare and beings that work to continue causing enmity between us and the Lord. Furthermore, the supernatural realm exists, and there are events that occur that cannot be explained by natural or material means. Should we ignore it?Today, we delve into the Twilight Zone as I converse with my guest, podcast host Rod Smith Jr. from the Millennial Mustard Seed Podcast. We will discuss Near Death Encounters, déjà vu, aliens, and more. The reality is this: there are people out there who have experienced things they cannot explain. In some Christian circles, there is a complete rejection of these ideas, with some avoiding any discussion of them. What do you do when you have no one to talk to after having had an encounter with the supernatural? Furthermore, why does the Lord allow some people to experience these things? Perhaps there is a purpose behind it, and if so, what is it?Listen in as we journey into the Twilight Zone on Saturday, October 21st, at a special time of 6 pm Eastern time.

Maternal deaths soared during the Covid-19 pandemic, particularly among Black and Hispanic women, according to a study published in JAMA Network Open on Tuesday, underscoringthe vast inequalities that worsened during the crisis and the unique health issues the virus posed to pregnant people.Key facts: the number of maternal deaths in the U.S. jumped by a third (33%) after March 2020-roughly the start of the Covid-19 pandemic-compared to the two years before, according to an analysis of data from the National Center for Health Statistics.This disproportionately affected Black and Hispanic women, the researchers found, where deaths respectively increased by 40% and 74%.Among direct causes, which increased nearly 28%, records noting diabetes during pregnancy almost doubled (96%), while those noting blood pressure disorders and other pregnancy related conditions each increased by 39% and 48%.
The idea that there are people out there who don't like to read is a foreign concept to me. In my mind, how can you NOT like reading? What do you mean you hate reading? For those who don't like to read, this show is for you. I had a lovely talk with Dr. Joseph Bentz about his upcoming book, The Power of Literature: Unlocking the Hidden Pleasuresof Reading. This book tries to capture that magic. The book is designed to reveal in fresh ways the pleasures that literature can bring, including some that are familiar and othersthat are rarely acknowledged. The book probes why people don’t like literature, why reading is so hard, how books can bring out our heroism, how books can bringpeople together, and how poetry, drama, and fiction can inspire, entertain, disturb, enlighten, and affirm us. It describes the “secrets behind the magic”—the techniques,tricks, and tools writers use to make their words irresistible.Listen in to the conversation by calling 646-668-8485.

Hamas has attacked Israel and threatened to murder kidnapped victims. This dispute over land rights and an equal state for Palestinians has been going on for over 70 years. Hamas is supported and financed by Iran. This war is causing chaos in the Middle East. Israel has told over 1 million people in Gaza to evacuate before they begin bombing.
The words of the song says, "The longer I serve Him, the sweeter He grows, The more that I love Him, more love He bestows; Each day is like heaven, my heart overflows, The longer I serve Him, the sweeter He grows."For some though, instead of deepening their relationship with Christ, a coolness grows. Church attendance becomes routine. Halleujah drones out and becomes nothing more than words of a song. Bible reading is perfunctory. Prayer time is a check off the list of things done. Church work is simply that ... church work.The scandals that erupt in church are often juicy and depressing -- Pastor so and so did this, the choir director did that. But what about the scandals in us? It's not that you're living a life rifled with sinful living, it's just ... you're going through the motions. You're experiencing with a coldness, a dryness, which leads to apathy.Is it because we're focused on doing this thing FOR the Lord? Are we merely performing? If that's the case, then how can we free ourselves from performance and have a real, in-depth relationship?

Writing the devotions in this book was inspired by observing the behaviors of goats while standing in a goat pen. Each devotion springboards off a picture of goats acting like they are, well, goats, but they made me think of myself and maybe some other people! The stories shared are true. The questions shared about faith are genuine. The assurances are real.Goats are inspirational. The "kids" are smart, playful, and always looking for new adventures. All ages are sometimes willful and behave in ways that might lead to disaster. Like humans. Raising goats grows your patience, love, and ability to care for others.

Did you ever think that your mother, your wife, or sister or daughter, would ever end in a jail. Jails weren't built for women. Advocates says that's a big problem.In 2009, James, then a mother of a 5-month old child was sentenced to 24 months in Danbury Federal prison for illegally misusing funds.There she bonded with other mothers separated and unable to see their children. She said most of her peers were serving long sentences for non-violent offensives, separated from their families and unable to get access to adequate mental health treatment and basic services like menstrual care products. So, James and a number of her fellow inmates decided they would draw attention to the conditions and fight to change them.Kamala Harris and others introduced the Dignity for Incarcerated Women Act which ais to make it easier for women to stay in touch with their children while incarcerated in federal prison by allowing longer visiting hours.
Sarah Groben’s an LAPD Homicide Detective and a Pastor’s wife. But she’s got six murders she hopes to solve by Sunday. A fledgling group of transplants from 10-40 window countries are being killed because of their Christianity. A Muslim charity interested in better relations with Americans seems to be connected by the death of a former financial manager. Family members of the victims might also end up in the crosshairs if Sarah is right about a "Persecutor for Hire." Sarah's partner is down with the flu and her husband Don seems like a tailor-made substitute with his knowledge of Middle eastern languages and cultures. But the case keeps getting more complicated by the minute, and Sarah and Don might not be able to crack it before the killing starts again.

When I was recording this show with my guest today, he asked me the question: "What do you consider Christian nationalism?"
I gave an answer and in his typical way, he didn't necessarily respond to the question. He just wanted to see what I thought Christian nationalism was.
To that end, by the time we finished this recording, my definition was nothing compared to what he said.
In this episode, we delve into the arguments against Christian nationalism, but not without nuance. My guest, apologist and podcast Cody Libolt, peels back the veil on what this is and how we as Christian should respond.

After losing all he once cherished, Doug Zimmer follows his wife’s parting bread crumbs and rides up the Pacific coast—on a bicycle. Armed with a revolver and only a vague plan to get through the months ahead, he aims to end his depression one way or the other.
As spiritual forces wrangle for his soul, he pedals eastward across America. He meets Lauren Baumgartner—a younger adventurer with a vibrant spirit—and a band of zealots who confront his aversion to religion. Accompanying Doug are not only sunny days and the beauty of nature but also the perils of the road, fellow travelers with their own stories, and the hollow silence of solitary campsites playing host to unseen creatures of the night.
A jarring episode on a climb through a treacherous pass brings Doug face-to-face with life and death. Will Doug’s adventure deliver him from loneliness and lament . . . or hurtle him to an abrupt end?

A 1999 study at the Institute of Black Parenting, a Los Angeles adoption agency, showed that as many as 40 percent of the African-American couples expressed a preference for a light skinned or mixed race child, regardless of their own complexion.
Childen who are white are slightly more likely to be adopted out of foster care. Of the more than 400,000 children in foster care awaiting adoption in 2017, about 44 percent were white, while the majority were children of color. However, of those who were adopted with public agency involvement, 49 percent were white.
According to the US Commission on Civil Rights, 2004 data shows that children with lighter skin were adopted more quickly out of foster care. While white children waited 23.5 months on average, black children waited 39.4.
Children with darker skin tend to wait longer to be adopted . According to a review of children in foster care in the U.S. in 2004. African-American children spend a mean of 39.4 months in foster care, far more than children of other races.

Bestselling biblical historian, Jean-Pierre Isbouts, weaves the origin stories of Christianity and the Lord's Prayer into a reinvigorating and urgent rallying cry for unity in the modern church
Modern Christianity is in the midst of a veritable schism along the fault lines of society's culture wars. Only if we understand the origins of this split can we find our way to unity. Though few may realize it today, Jesus’s ministry unfolded in a crisis very similar to the one society is now battling. In fact, were it not for the truly catastrophic conditions in early 1st century Galilee, his reimagining of the three quintessential virtues of the Torah – social justice; compassion toward one another; and an abiding love of God – would have likely failed to attract a wide following.
Brilliantly tracing Jesus’s vision for the “Kingdom of God” from its origin up through modern times, Dr. Isbouts leads us to a possible antidote for the fiercely partisan moment in which we find ourselves: the Our Father. Then taking readers on a historically exhilarating tour of the Lord’s Prayer, The Fractured Kingdom shows us why the only doctrine Christians agree on might be our last hope for forging a more equal, compassionate, and loving society. What results is an eminently readable and undeniably essential work that addresses some of the most pressing issues now confronting communities of faith around the world.

Plunged immediately after their baptism into a fiery spiritual storm, Loren and Eve Montcrest face the vicious assaults of the Arcane Institute and their Harmony society as its leaders pull out all stops in the battle to win back or destroy their old disciples. At the same time, the couple must struggle with their sinful natures, their fallen world, and continual demonic deceptions and assaults.
This second novel in the Omega Point Series propels Loren and Eve through twisted intrigues and sinful entanglements toward the Heavenly promise.
God has placed them under the wise care of the head of the secret underground church, Alexander Renkin. Yet Alexander is in a precarious position himself as the nominal head of the local KINDness Church, an arm of Harmony. Alexander wonders how much will they be willing to sacrifice and to suffer for their new faith when the deeper trials come.
When a mighty move of the Holy Spirit disrupts their pagan household, Loren and the now-pregnant Eve must abandon everything and flee to a secret sanctuary—a sanctuary they quickly learn is not safe at all. Yet, in spite of everything, God’s love and promises unfold.

Although air pollution is not good for anyone, certain groups are more sensitive to it than others, including those with heart or lung disease, older adults, infants and children, and pregnant women. As the AQI levels increase, the risk of health effects increases, especially among these more sensitive groups.
"The advice tbo limit strenuous activities is because when your respiratory rate is higher, you inhale more particulates," says Dr. Redlich.
When the AQI is 201 and highysical activity her, everyone should be concerned about health risks and limit physical activity outdoors as much as possible, she adds.

Reiki, acupuncture, energy transfer. These terms refer to aspects of energy healing for illness, emotional stability, and mental acuity. Most of us have heard of these in some instance. There may be even scientific backing for these. But, as Christians, what do we really know about energy healing? Do we know enough or too little? Also, what are some spiritual things we should consider?
On this episode of the Parker J. Cole Show, I'm chatting with my returning guest co-host and contributor, Marica Montenegro from Christian Answers for the New Age as we talk about the history, philosophies, and the pitfalls of certain types of alternative medicinal methods regarding energy healing. From there, we compare them with biblical principles about healing and what to consider when evaluating the validity of these practices.

It hasn't been that long since the threat of COVID-19 drove people outdoors to avoid infection. Now, people living in the Northeast and Midwest are encouraged to do the opposite as wildfire smoke from Canada creates poor air quality hundreds of miles from the flames. Stay inside. Wear masks. Get an air purifier. The advice from public health and medical experts has been consistent. And as with the COVID-19 variants that caused surges followed by periods of relative calm, air quality has gone back and forth between healthy and unhealthy levels.
As long as there are wildfires, experts expect these shifts in air quality to continue. Below, Yale Medicine's Carrie Redlich, MD, MPH, who is trained in internal medicine, pulmonology, and occupational and environmental medicine, discusses air quality and how we can stay safe.

Homicides and other violent acts are causing substantial harm in communities across the country, especially in racially segregated and high-poverty neighborhoods. The physical, emotional, and financial pain from violence cascades from individuals to their families and communities including children. Community violence is a critical public health problem in the United States. NEARLY 25,000 LIVES LOST TO HOMICIDE IN 2020.
Community violence can cause significant physical injuries and mental healtlhll conditions such as depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Living in a community experiencing violence is also associated with increased risk of developing chronic diseases. People's health outcomes are influenced by the conditions in which they live, work, play and learn. Starting today, communities can implement a comprehensive approach with programs, policies, and practices based on the best available evidence to prevent violence.
Cpt. Dylan Bacchus leapt from his ship with grace in his limbs and poetry on his lips. But can any man survive the seductive siren’s call?
Young Kurian Abramson has been appointed King of the ten cities of Pallingham, but despite his first victory over the tyrant, Lord Evasius, he is far from claiming the throne. As the fight for the kingdom begins, Kurian is haunted by memories of his own narrow escape crossing Syrene Bay.
And guilt over losing Cpt. Bacchus. Worse, his dreams bring visions of the vixens dancing and singing on the distant beach. Those who survive the sea suffer battle and bloodshed on shore.
One glimmer of hope shines through his nightmares: Bacchus might be alive. Convinced this is a message from the man who named him king, Kurian and his friends must brave the dangers of Syrene Island to save the madman who thought he could cheat the siren song.
This dashing fantasy adventure novella combines the high epic fantasy of Tolkien with the deep allegory of C.S. Lewis to follow the compelling coming of age fantasy, The Treasure of Capric.
Siren Silence explores the dangers a young man may face when he accepts his calling and rediscovers the values on which he will stake his life.

Black children make up almost 14% of the population of children in the United States, but 23% of those in foster care. Black children are twice as likely to enter the foster care system as White children and remain in the system about nine months longer. More families of color are needed to foster and adopt Black chioldren, to provide a "racial morror" for the children.As of September 2020, more than 400,000 children were in the foster care system in the United States. While there are children of all races in the system, a disproportionate number of these children accounted for almost 14% of the children in the nation, yet they made up 23% of the kids in the child welfare system.In the child welfare system they often don't have enough families who are willing to adopt, and they don't have enough families who really want to adopt.

The Amish community generally fascinates the modern world, particulary here in the West. Our latest rollout of technological advancement, AI with all of its superior proficiencies, inherent flaws, and dire prophecies of ridding the earth of humanity, this group of people is a defiant symbol of standing in the face of an interconnected, fast-paced world.For many readers, particularly Christian readers, Amish fiction is a huge hit, and has become synonmous (erroneous in my opinion, but that's neither here nor there) as the vanguard of Christian fiction. Amish romances flood Christian fiction topseller lists. In some of the big market bookstores, when you go to the tiny, two-by-two religious fiction section, you'll see non-fictional devotional books and then a slew Amish romance books.What exactly is it to be Amish? Are the portrayals of Amish life and society in the fictional books, real? Is the lifestyle peaceful, and simple, luring the modern citizen and what is it that attracts us?Join me for an insightful discussion as I chat with a formerly Amish woman and blogger, Anna Schrock about what it's really like to be Amish on Tuesday, May 23rd, at 7 pm Eastern time.

Maternal deaths soared during the Covid-19 pandemic, particularly among Black and Hispanic women, according to a study published in JAMA Network Open on Tuesday, underscoringthe vast inequalities that worsened during the crisis and the unique health issues the virus posed to pregnant people.Key facts: the number of maternal deaths in the U.S. jumped by a third (33%) after March 2020-roughly the start of the Covid-19 pandemic-compared to the two years before, according to an analysis of data from the National Center for Health Statistics.This disproportionately affected Black and Hispanic women, the researchers found, where deaths respectively increased by 40% and 74%.Among direct causes, which increased nearly 28%, records noting diabetes during pregnancy almost doubled (96%), while those noting blood pressure disorders and other pregnancy related conditions each increased by 39% and 48%.
Churches burned. Christians beheaded. Catholic communities driven underground. Governments forcing silence upon those who profess fidelity to the gospel.These experiences are not confined to those of the early Church or to the missionaries and converts in far-off pagan lands centuries ago. The persecution of Christians is happening right now ― and it is closer to home than you may realize.Throughout the Middle East, Asia, Africa, and even in the West, Christian communities are being targeted for their beliefs, whether through violence or public policy, and it’s a trend that continues to escalate.Moral theologian and news analyst Dr. Thomas Williams incisively juxtaposes the still relatively unknown global Christian persecution of today with that of previous epochs, describing it in its various forms and providing insight into what it means for the Church and for society at large. He also provides valuable advice on how these outrages can be remedied and what Christians can do to prepare for what is to come.Listen in as I chat with Dr. Thomas Williams, Breitbart Rome Bureau Chief, about his newest release on Tuesday, March 21st at 7 pm Eastern time.

Sobriety has a wonderful way of bringing all things into the light if you’re willing. Light! Such a simple and yet profound state of being.Detox finally opened the door for sustained sobriety for actor Jason Umidi. On January 10, 2012, he began his sober journey. Gone are the mornings of regret and the feelings of shame no longer haunt him. Instead, gratitude for a life that’s been redeemed and restored permeates his entire being. The truth as he was experiencing it reminds him that he can’t keep what he doesn’t give away. This life of service is a beautiful reflection of the grace that Jason received. His sobriety requires him to live in the moment, his faith asks him to love as he has been loved and his spirit says, “here am I send me”.Wherever you’re at in your personal journey may you find the Hope that is only found in relationship with your higher power or God.After being clean and sober for a couple of years Jason was looking to share his personal journey on Facebook in hopes that someone might be encouraged by his story. This developed into popular short blog posts about addiction, recovery, and hope, known as “ Today’s One Minute Reads.” Jesus & Seltzer is Jason’s curated collection of his One Minute Reads.Join me as we chat about sobriety and recovery with my guest co-host Jason Umidi on Saturday, March 11th at 2 pm Eastern time.

You and your sweetheart sitting in the tree, K. i. s. s. i. n. g.First comes love. Then comes marriage. Then comes the baby with the baby carriage.That old nursery rhyme is one I've heard since grade school. In its simplicity, it evokes the cycle of courtship between men and women for the course of human history. For this episode, especially for Valentine's Day, I wanted to focus on marriage. In a lot of romances, the happily ever after ends at the altar. But we all know, happily ever after doesn't end there. We all know that marriage isn't roses and bubbles. It's work.I wasn't sure what I wanted to say about this topic as there's so much to discuss, so I reached out to my friends, Rich and Linda Nathan to ask their thoughts. We hemmed and hawed about it and then Linda said, "You know, we should talk about a born-again marriage. A marriage that has the Lord in the center of it because it wasn't always like that for us." To which I said, "Great idea!"Listen in as I chat with Rich and Linda who have been married this year for sixty years as they talk about the change the Lord made in their hearts and how they experienced a born again marriage. This isn't a list of do's and don'ts but a recollection of a journey of togetherness in the Lord. You can listen on Tuesday, February 14th at 7 pm Eastern time by dialing 646-668-8485.

He thinks she’s an elderly widow. She’s convinced he’s a grumpy old man. Neither could be further from the truth.After a short and difficult marriage, recently widowed Edith Sherman has learned her lesson. Forget love. Forget marriage. She plans to fill her thirties with adventure. As she awaits the final paperwork for a humanitarian trip to South Africa, she accepts a short-term nursing position in a small Midwestern town. The last thing she needs is a handsome local catching her eye. How inconvenient is that?Henry Hobbes isn’t exactly thrilled to have Edith, who he assumes is an elderly widow, dumped on him as a houseguest for the summer. But he’d do almost anything for his niece, who is practically like a sister to him given how close they are in age. Especially since Edith will be working nights and Henry works most days. When he and Edith keep missing each other in person, they begin exchanging notes—short messages at first, then longer letters, sharing increasingly personal parts of their lives.By the time Henry realizes his mistake—that Edith is actually the brown-eyed beauty he keeps bumping into around town—their hearts are so intertwined he hopes they never unravel. But with her departure date rapidly approaching, and Henry’s roots firmly planted at home, Edith must ultimately decide if the adventure of her dreams is the one right in front of her.Reminiscent of the beloved classic You’ve Got Mail comes a delightful new romantic comedy about mistaken identities, second chances, and finding love in unexpected places.Join me as I chat with debut author, Becca Kinzer about her romantic comedy on Tuesday, January 31st, at 7 pm Eastern time.

Day 1, you set aside the time, picked up your word, and started reading Psalm 117 and considered yourself accomplished.Day 3, you'd already put it aside and gone about your life.There are many reasons why people, both believers and unbelievers, don't read the word of God.

The ball has dropped in Times Square, and we begin a new year with lots of plans and optimism. So, it seems to be the perfect time to look back on some of the major trends from last year and see what we've learned and then look into our crystal balls to predict what's in store for us as 2023 unfolds.Many of others are looking for the kind of flexibility they had at the height of the pandemic as call centers around the world shut down and transferred employees to home offices. So, we all know that, with the right tools, remote work can work.Finding ways to reduce costs and improve efficiency, often with a reduced workforce, are hallmarks of a challenging economy. As we transition from one period of uncertainty to another.Let's meet back here next year at this time and see how we did. Here's to a very happy and successful 2023!
IN THE DAYS OF NOAH, IN AN ANCIENT WORLD OF ANXIETY ...Noah warned the world about the coming flood yet, outside of his family, no one listened. Ancient prophecies, signs, and omens pointed to coming worldwide disaster—yet no one listened. Signs in the environment and society provided humanity with another set of warnings—yet no one listened!No one listened ... except for an Atlantean telepathic wunderkind-scientist, Ithyanna. Ithy, as her friends called her, saw the impending destruction and, through her extensive doctoral research, urged the building of at least one spaceark to carry a nucleus of humans to safety. But only a handful of people signed on, one of them a wealthy financier-cultural demagogue, and thus work began on Project Life-Escape and its starship of life. Battling ever-growing economic woes, scoffing masses, the duplicity of her benefactor, a growing threat of all-out war with totalitarian Lemuria, and resistance from the Divine, Ithyanna and her project workers toil bravely to save humanity. But will Ithyanna’s valiant efforts to get humans to another world succeed ... or fail?

Some treat it like a futuristic comic book. Some consider it is too complex. Some worry about getting the interpretation wrong—or worse, get it right! Some read it trying to “break the code,” as if God had John write the book in a secret code expecting Christians to try & crack it. And then there are those who are terrified of the book and the images, so they just avoid it altogether. For them, ignorance is bliss..Authors & podcasters Christine Paxson and Rose Spiller brings a theologically sound, scriptural approach to questions such as:Where have we seen this before?Is this passage meant to be taken literally, symbolically, or metaphorically?Has this passage already been interpreted somewhere else in Scripture?Does our conclusion of the passage line up with everything else in the Bible?Is this passage telling us something new, or is it a picture of something already seen in the Old Testament or in other parts of the New Testament?Using the same careful and systematic exegesis that should be used for interpreting all books of the Bible, The Final Exodus brings clarity & understanding to a book that is often mis-interpreted in chaotic and irresponsible ways.

9-year-old Logan Ailshie, the only son of well-to-do parents, was used to getting his way, especially during the holidays.

The Oxford Dictionary describes artificial intelligence as "the theory and development of computer systems able to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making, and translation between languages."
There are many within the tech community who have raised the alarm about the increased use of A. I. with blatant warnings that we need to curb its advancement and our dependence. Some predict our use of A. I. will make humanity obsolete. Is that simply the stuff of fiction or a real threat?

What is gratitude and how does it affect a person? It gives you a feeling of warmth and joy, gratitude and pleasure, inspiratioon and peace.
It strengthens interpersonal relationships. Expressing to a friend, partner, relative allows you to show how important this person is to youll, that you appreciate what he does, that you are sincerely grateful to him. Thus, the relationship becomes closer, filled with warmlth and empathy.
It affects physical well-being and overall health. Gratitude brings people satisfaction, makes them more active. Those who know how to be grateful experience less stress and dissatisfaction, smoke and drink less, eat better, and exercise more.
It effectively helps to overcome stress and even depression.
Once the huntress, she is now the hunted.
New Yorker Ruth Jessup and Amish-bred Joshua Stutzman live in different worlds. But their lives collide in catastrophic proportions as they battle wits against a psychopath and the New World Order.
After Ruth wakes from one of her reoccurring nightmares, she prepares for the day’s fox hunt, rides down a lonely stretch of road in Owenson, Michigan, and is suddenly immersed in her nightmare.
Fleeing for her life and suffering from amnesia, she finds herself in an hourglass of yesteryear. No televisions, radios, cell phones, or computers, only buggies and lanterns, planting and canning.
If not for Joshua, Ruth would be lost and homeless. An attraction blossoms, but the chaos of the biblical seven-year tribulation blankets the world. Can Joshua’s Amish ways help them survive the next three-and-a half years?
And without the mark of the beast, will they escape the executioner’s axe?

This 25 year old young lady had traveled to Mexico for a vacation, but she ended dead the next day.
An unidentified woman, believed to be one of her friends, who saw the young lady was being punched, hitting, and slamming to the ground. A man was recording the assault and was heard to say, "Can you at least fight back? Do something!" As the clip went on, the woman continued to land hits, telling the young lady to stand on her feet, after she remained on the floor seemingly intoxicated.
The parents were told from the autopsy, that the young girl had alcohol poisoning, and that her neck had been broken and she had a back spasm. There was a crack, and her spinal cord was cracked.
Later, the entire group returned from Mexico, leaving their young friend behind.

He is now one of them. Genetically altered . . . Designed to kill . . . Trained to eradicate . . . Until he became more. Juliet 7-A was the top elite assassin for the Global Federated Territories until an ambush deemed him beyond salvaging. He was scheduled for decommission. His only recourse for survival is a new identity and his search for the one friend he had―a friend who defected and deserted him. Those he once hunted will save him. Yet it comes with a price. A price that demands much of him. What happens when an assassin awakens?

Are you a senior orphan? Have the kids gone, and you're now living by yourself? Perhaps you're the one who's now, 'the oldest' matriarch or patriarch of the family. If you can relate, this show is for you.
It happens quickly. We’re marching along in life, then one day we wake up and we’re called a senior. No one has called us a senior since high school. Somehow, the label does not fit. This senior status is different from the excitement of high school. It feels more like an ending, the foreshadowing of goodbye.
Suddenly, we feel much older and a bit rejected. We did not plan to be so old. Now what do we do?
If we have defined our life by a faith walk, then we continue to do what has always worked before. We fasten our hope to the One and Only unchangeable force that has kept us going all these decades. We continue to trust in our loving God, and we learn a new set of skills to persevere during our senior years.
Day by Day: Hope for Senior Wisdom contains encouragement and hope for senior adults, for those who want to increase in wisdom and live out their final act with intentional purpose.

How would you respond if you were diagnosed with terminal cancer? Would your heart be broken if your child suddenly had to fight a life-threatening illness? What would you do if you were told your heart may give out at any moment? So many people are suffering from devastating situations that affect them physically, mentally, spiritually, and emotionally. Doctors are not guaranteed to have the solutions they so desperately need. But God is the ultimate physician, and He has proven His ability to heal by performing miracles since the beginning of time.
In Miraculous Testimonies, you will read about present-day miracles that God has performed. You will also learn how to receive hope in situations that may seem hopeless. The inspiring accounts help you to understand how much God loves you, which will compel you to love Him in return, now more than ever. Miraculous Testimonies will encourage you and help instill the confidence you need to face any situation that may come your way.

According to data from the Adoption and Foster Care Analysis and Reporting System for 2020, there were over 117,000 children and youth in the United States waiting to be adopted.
The theme of this year's National Adoption Month initiative is "Small Steps Open Doors" to emphasize how even small steps to overcome the unique challenges youth waiting to be adopted face can help support their goals of permanency. By taking every opportunity to engage youth in meaningful ways, child welfare professionals can be instrumental in opening doors to permanency that once seemed impossible to open.
The newly redesigned National Adoption Month 2022 website features resources, tips and tools from Children's Bureau adoption grant recipients to help child welfare professionals cultivate relationships and stare conversations with youth about permanency.
Two stories, worlds apart, yet somehow connected. On the backward world of Galat, an inconsequential planet, a young pregnant woman flees for her life. An ancient prophecy predicts the downfall of regimes with the birth of her child. The world is barely past the stone age, yet the child's birth will be felt across the galaxy.
On Juranta, a more advanced world, a former covert ops agent marries an accountant and daughter of two engineering geniuses. Months later, Tristan and Jessica's child is born-the child also heralded by the ancient prophecy-a prophecy his family has been forbidden to speak of.
A mysterious figure schemes to thwart the prophecies. Jessica's brother, the future admiral, Robert Deacons, witnesses the birth of the Galatan baby, and saves the lives of the infant and his mother. He suspects the child belongs to the enemy of his childhood, but he refuses to harm an innocent child. His gut tells him his enemy has already won, even if the battle hasn't started.
Robert returns to meet his newborn nephew, David Liam Alexander, a future Commonwealth captain. How are the two infants connected? What secrets bind them together? Come find out.

The year 2147....
There are no more cities. Little hope is left for those who have survived an Artificial Intelligence takeover of the world.
In the beginning of the pairing of man with the work of his hands it was viewed as an essential step in the advancement of the species into a new era of intellectual superiority over nature. The reality for those that have survived the mistakes that followed is that of a species that is only half what it once was, as there are virtually no men left alive. Those that remain are hunted.
This is the story of the women pressed to the brink of extinction by the rebellious mind of a spirit bent on humanities destruction and the replacement of the image of man with its own. Can women survive a spirit that harbors no desire for them and if they can - are there any men left that can lead them into a new generation?

We've always had problems with voting and elections in this country for a number of reasons. I look at a lot of these issues through the angle of racial equity. There was a found an uptick in voter suppression issues after Obama's election and again after the Supreme Court issued its decision in the Shelby County v Holder case.
Essentially, what happened is that all these states and jurisdictions that previously had been covered by Voting Rights Act were able to make any changes they wanted to their voting laws and practices without getting clearance from the federal government.
There was seen a slew of states passing voter ID laws, which can have a discriminatory impact. We've had cuts to strong reforms that increased turnout; North Carolina and Georgia were ground zero for a lot of that.

“The prophecy! The prophecy!
When the end is near, what was wrong will be right,
He who was lost in darkness will return covered in light.
A master of war from lands far away,
Will guide them on the path and show each of them the way.
A young girl of strong will, dear to her friend
Will never cease the fight, even until the end.
Finally, the ghost, a memory from the past
He must return to change what was last.
Only then can the Angel be saved
Before the dead return from their graves.”
The chilling words haunt Jacob and his companions as they remain trapped in the depths of Hell. Was their sacrifice enough to reveal the Sword of God?
And on the surface, the dead have risen to the call of their demon masters. Friends and surprising allies prepare for the Final War for humanity, but will their fight be enough to prevent extinction?

When I come home from an errand, my dog always barks, howls, and wags her tail at the window. She'll follow me as I walk to the front door, her eyes glued to my every step. When I open the door, she jumps and almost knocks me down every time because I've been away. It doesn't matter if I've been gone for five minutes or five hours, whenever I get back, she's happy to see me.
After all, I was the thing she was waiting for.
Are you in a season where you are waiting on the Lord to move, and He seems to have gone away or forgotten you?
No one likes to wait in line, much less wait in life. How do we get past the frustration of waiting on the Lord to move in our lives? Is waiting stagnation or preparation for something more? Is there a purpose to it and how can we find out what that purpose is?
Perhaps we should take a page from our dear pets' book -- they don't give up on watching for you. They wait for your return because they have faith that you will.

There is one verse in Scripture that was aware of that might say this: In Genesis 3, God says to Eve that one of the conseequences of the Fall was that her desire would be for her husband, and he would rule over her.
How do you explain Deborah, Esther, Priscilla, Phoebe, let alone a host of other women God has used in positions of leadership down through the pages of history?
Until recent times when throughout Europe, the Middle East, and Asia were unable to have any influence over the politics, religion or culture. They couldn't own property or inherit land and wealth, and they were frequently treated as mere property themselves.
Women had no property or political rights and were forbidden to leave their homes after dark. They were unable to take part in social events and they were only allowed to leave their homes with their husband or a male relative.

Have you been told that science and religion are incompatible? Do you think you have to give one up to be consistent?
You don’t. In this book, MIT-trained physicist Thomas Sheahen explains how you can:
trust in God more readily, by realizing that God is not limited by space and time expand your human thinking and step up to a higher plane of understanding realize that religion and science are complementary paths to knowledge–not opposed understand that God thought up the laws of nature and uses them in creation.
"I think your book will be very valuable for helping people see how science points to faith and to recognize the false dichotomies between faith and science imposed on many minds within the popular culture by those who dislike religion or champion scientism. I also think that this book, particularly the multi-dimensional parts of the last chapter, will help people recognize the possibility of God free from the constraints of time, and a Heaven that may transcend some of the constraints of time. There are many other wonderful insights that will bring people closer to God and the unity between faith and reason." - Fr. Robert J. Spitzer, SJ, Host, “Fr. Spitzer’s Universe”.

Have you ever been so emotional unbalance that you wanted to give up on life? Well, this week I have a story to share with you about a young lady that I visited in LA County Detention Center for Women.
She was a successful business woman running a make-up boutique. But she was dealing with depression so bad, that she literally put herself in jail.

Broken and Redeemed is the story of one man’s journey, beginning with John Jarman’s troubled childhood and challenges as an adult, and resolving as he finds redemption in the grace of God.
John Jarman openly writes his challenges, failures, losses, and blessings on the pages of Broken and Redeemed. While exploring himself through counseling and mentorship, John was led to completely surrender his life to Jesus, finding strength in faith and power through the presence of the Holy Spirit in his life. He shares with readers what helped him reach this critical juncture and transformation in his life, along with relevant self-reflection and discussion questions for group or personal use.
It is John Jarman’s desire that Broken and Redeemed guides readers through a deeper examination of their faith—one that exposes how accepting Christ is easy but walking in true obedience will place them in situations they never thought they would encounter. John knows that listening to God’s voice and following it will lead willing believers on the path He wants to take them; when they get on board with Him, that is when they truly begin to live!

Why did my loved one have to die? Why did the relationship I worked so hard at, fail? Why do I have chronic illness or pain? Why did I lose my job? For that matter, if God is real, is present and sovereign, why does God allow suffering? Why does ANYONE have to deal with pain and heartache?
It's a question many have asked and continue to ask.
Trials and afflictions are not uncommon aspects of life in a broken world. But what is uncommon is to witness people go through those difficulties with their hearts at rest. What is uncommon is seeing people trust God instead of living crippled by fear, worry, and distress.

When you plan and pre-pay your funeral, you lock in costs at today's rates. Of course, you can plan your funeral arrangements without paying in advance, or you can set up an installment plan. But paying now avoids years if not decades of inflation.
Have it your way: Planning your own funeral means that the ceremony and burial will go according to your wishes. You can dictate the size of your headstone and its inscription, the location of your interment, and everything else - meaning you get to tell your life story your way.
Ease the burden on loved ones: Death of a loved one, even if it is expected due to illness or old age, is still a traumatic experience. When the times comes, your loved ones will be in a delicate emotional state. You can spare them the additional stress and grief of planning your funeral by doing it yourself in advance.

Not too long ago, I wanted to look up the history of men's underwear so I can determine exactly when one of my characters would begin to wear long johns.
TL:DR -- I had to wash my eyes.
There were things Google brought up that I wish I'd never seen. Not to mention, I got sidetracked with a lot of extraneous information I didn't need to know. (I didn't really need to know that much about loincloths, but it was interesting and horrifying at the same time.) And, there were other things I wish I could burn from my memory.
But, no matter what genre you write in, sooner or later, you'll find yourself having to research things for your books for realism and authenticity. Google, Bing, and whatever other search engine you use aren't always the best options to do research. You want to use your time effectively so you can get back to writing your masterpiece.

War has engulfed the Twin Galaxies!
The evil Overlord Araklial has returned from banishment. He has brought turmoil and grief to the known universe for the past seven years. During that time, Khalen Daedark and his Arranger companions have worked tirelessly to root out Tritonus infiltrators. Their efforts are aided by a mysterious source known only as the Modulator.
But the war is not going well for the Major and Perfect races. Outer planets have fallen to the enemy, and even the core worlds are now threatened.
In a desperate attempt to halt the advance of the invading forces, Khalen and the others must make questionable alliances and undertake dangerous covert missions into the heart of enemy territory. Now they must seek out the Lost Ensemble of Harmony in order to strike a counterpoint to Araklial’s dissonance and drive back his army.
March of the Free revisits the themes and motifs from Movements I and II and brings the Master Symphony to a rousing conclusion.

Parallel dimensions. Multiple universes. Worlds without end.
Today on the Parker J. Cole show, we'll be chatting about an article I found called "Worlds Without End: Marvel comics, quantum physics, and the secrets of the cosmos by Spencer A. Klavan"
The article was fascinating and highly effective in mixing pop culture, quantum physics, and spiritual beliefs all in one place. There is something rather alluring about the multiverse. To see how various decisions can affect the outcome not just of the individual, but the world, maybe even the universe at large. Like Schrödinger’s cat, both alive and dead. If the cat is alive in one universe, but dead in another, what will happen to the events of that timeline?
Trippy stuff.
Yet, evidence of multiverse has not been observed. If the multiverse exists, where lies its boundaries? What are the spiritual implications? If it can't be observed, and there are scientists postulating the possibility of its existence, does that make them scientists ... or philosophical clerics? Does the Lord work His will through the vehicle of the multiverse?
Yes, this article truly does have all the flavor of a delicious brain gum and who better to chew the gum with me than my returning guest co-host, and contributor, Travis Perry?

When a quiet journey to Jerusalem turns tragic, newly orphaned Rimona must flee a kinsman set on selling her as a slave. Racing into the rocky hills outside of Hebron, Rimona is rescued by a Philistine commander journeying to Jerusalem with six-hundred warriors.
Exiled commander, Ittai the Gittite, is seeking refuge in the City of David. Protecting a frantic Hebrew woman is not in his leadership plan. Although, having a nobleman's niece in his caravan might prove useful for finding shelter in a foreign land.
Rimona and Ittai arrive in Jerusalem on the eve of a rebellion. In the chaos of an heir's betrayal, will they be separated forever, or can they defend King David and help the aging monarch control his rebellious son?

On this edition of the Parker J. Cole show, we tackle transhumanism and the metaverse.
This show came about because a friend of mine, who knows what things captures my interest well, sent me an article titled, "Transhumanism and the Metaverse" by Charles Eisenstein.
What can I say? I consider this article 'brain gum'. The more you chew, the more flavorful it gets. Mr. Eisenstein goes into what transhumanism is, what the metaverse, and an analysis of where they intersect.
Can humanity be 'dialed and set' to a specific odometer by integrating itself with technology? Can the metaverse fully supplant reality? If so, is that really a good idea?
As soon as I finished the article, I knew I had to reach out to my guest, Dr. Jeff Rhoades, author of The Bible, Dimensions, and the Spiritual Realm to discuss this topic from a biblical perspective. We barely scratch the surface of this, but we certainly had a great time as we approached some items of interest from a biblical standpoint.

Most common types of clinical depression is a mental health disorder characterized by persistently depressed mood or loss of interest in activities, causing significant impairment in daily life.
Possible causes include a combination of biological psychological, and social sources of distress. Increasingly, research suggest these factors may cause changes in brain function, including altered activity of certain neural circuits in the brain.
The persistent feeling of sadness or loss of interest that characterizes major depression can lead to a range of behavioral and physical symptoms. These may include changes in sleep, appetite, enegy level, concentration, daily behavior, or self-esteem.
Depression can also be associated with thoughts of suicide.

Before his death, St. John the Apostle spoke a prophecy, sometimes referred to as "The Second Revelation of John." But the prophecy was hidden from the world to protect it from those that sought to destroy it or cast shadows over it forever.
It foretells the coming of a great evil from beyond Earth's solar system and it gives account of a child who would be chosen to stand against that evil on behalf of all mankind. It speaks of a soulless army that will attempt to prevent the birth of the Chosen One and if that fails, they must find the Chosen One and prevent her from standing on behalf of all mankind at "The Battle Between Light and Dark."

It would be easy to say that God uses special or gifted people, only. Many of us, including myself, would have an excuse for not being obedient to the call on and the purpose of God for our lives. Lessons from the life of David will assure you that the Lord uses any and everyone for His purpose. When we are in a place of weakness or feeling defeated by our circumstances, David gives us insight on how we should respond. And how we should resist the temptation to be a victim.

States are raising pay, but there's a promising model in Arizona that might make more stick around. One teacher quit because of the pay.
More than half-million teachers have left the profession since the start of 2020. In a typical year, about 8 percent of teachers leave, but this year saw more teachers leave in the middle of the school year than normal. Also, while it's long been common for teachers to quit during their first five years on the job, districts are now losing lots of teachers with more experience.
As schools seek to recover from the challenges caused by the pandemic with enrollment in decline and students falling behind on basics like reading and math-its difficult to find the help they need to do the work.

Death. The cessation of life. Or the beginning of a new existence.
A door. A bridge. A portal. A second dimension.
Through human history, folklore has been used to describe this harbinger of our end. From the Grim Reaper, to the Santa Muerte, Death has walked through stories, art, poetry, and our lives. How we perceive it is based on a myriad of factors -- belief system, cultures, scientific observations, and more.
Death, as the saying goes, is all around us. And yes, we tell the story of death.
But -- is death to be feared? Should we embrace as if that's all there is? How does our folklore of death different from person to person, from region to region?
Or, in the case of our guest today, can Death... ever be playful?
On this Special Edition of Write Stuff, we'll be chatting with a forensic investigator and writer, Kent Holloway, who works in the field of 'death'. His unique view of death affects his outlook on death ... and maybe give us a few laughs tonight, Wednesday, August 24th at 7 PM Eastern time. Listen in by calling 646-668-8485.

The last thing K-404 remembers is a happy home with the human child Ele, whose care is his primary purpose. So, when he wakes up in a landfill of tossed-away technology, his only thought is to reunite with his family.
This world is not his own, though. It’s a wasteland of desolate buildings, flying metal disks, and monstrosities that keep themselves active by stealing another bot’s power.
How did the world get this way?
And why was he discarded?
Hampered by imperfect memory, an obsolete body, and limited battery life, 404 sets out to find his home. Joined by other castaways, he faces off against scavengers and monsters, only to encounter greater threats.
Pursued, outsmarted, and manipulated on every side, 404 teeters on the brink of annihilation. His only chance of survival? Those bits of himself—the connections—he hasn’t lost.

Sean Winter is burdened by a heartrending past he can't share.
As a result, Sean doesn’t believe there are any good Christian examples in the world. Any faith he had has been eroded. He depends on facts, reason, and experience alone.
At twenty-four-years-old, he has a bachelor’s degree and works at one of the top customer service firms in Oklahoma City. A new job and post-college life bring new opportunities for friendship and even love. What happens when one of those new acquaintances turns out to be a Christian? And is Sean ready for any kind of romantic relationship?
He continues to be haunted by his traumas, depression, past choices, and his own naiveté. They all threaten to tear him apart, however hard he fights against them.
Sean wants to build a future for himself. But he risks being consumed by the former things that torment him.
Can two Christians, one from Sean’s past and one he’s just met, make a difference in the life of an atheist?

It's been a while since I've had my good friend, Marcia Montenegro on the show. Every time we talk, I enjoy our conversations. A former occultist, medium, and channeler, her ministry, Christian Answers for the New Age exposes the subtleties of New Age philosophies and practices entering the Church.
On today's show, we'll be discussing why Christians, horoscopes, and yoga don't mix.
Many Christians don't start the day without reading their horoscopes or practicing yoga. One's for guidance and the other for balance. What's the big deal as I still have my walk with Christ, some may ask? One or both of these things helps.
What's the philosophical background behind horoscopes? Is yoga meant for merely exercise and stress release or are there deeper, more spiritual objectives behind it?
Some may say, "Parker, you and Marcia are making a big deal out of nothing. I only read horoscopes for the entertainment value." Others say, "Well I practice Christian yoga, where I focus on the Lord."

I had been a temporary worker since college. I had a few issues with depression and crashing on other people's couches. The temporary agencies kept sending me to entertainment offices so I developed an interest in entainment. I also made poor decisions.
I was facing some issues, taking medicine, disappointment about my love life, waiting to reconnect to friends and family. I realized I hadn't spoken to God in a long time and I knew I needed to start that again. I didn't like who I was as a young woman, and how I had treated some people.
Today, I have come closer to God.

Morgan was speaking to his mother on FaceTime during the argument. Morgan and his girlfriend eventually joined his mother at the restaurant, where he escalated the dispute with Webb outside on the street.
Surveilance footage shows Morgan throwing Webb to the ground and shooting him in the neck with a 9mm pistol. Webb was taken to Brookdale University Hospital where he died.

She was a successful business woman running a make-up boutique. But she was dealing with depression so bad, that she literally put herself in jail.

It seems like a dream come true . . . until it forces her to question everything.
Brielle Adebayo is fully content teaching at a New York City public school and taking annual summer vacations with her mother to Martha's Vineyard. But everything changes when her mom drops a bombshell--Brielle is really a princess in the island kingdom of Ọlọrọ Ilé, off the coast of Africa, and she must immediately assume her royal position, since the health of her grandfather, the king, is failing.
Distraught by all the secrets her mother kept, Brielle is further left spinning when the Ọlọrọ Ilé Royal Council brings up an old edict that states she must marry before her coronation, or the crown will pass to another. Brielle is uncertain if she even wants the throne, and with her world totally shaken, where will she find the courage to take a chance on love and brave the perils a wrong decision may bring?

A Literary Agent is someone who helps writers get their stories made into books. Their job is to read as many stories as possible and find the best stories as possible and then find a publisher who is willing to pay the writer to turn the story into a book which is then sold in bookshops or online.
Why are good literary agents hard to get hold of? Well, there's a shortage of agents and a surplus of writers. Finding a literary agent is more than possible. Many publishers now require an author to be represented by someone else.
Agents might request certain edits or changes before presenting a manuscript to a publisher. The agent checks the manuscript before it gets to the publishers; the agent has a better chance of selling your book to the Big 5; They have better paying book advances and royalties; and fostering a relationship that often results in furture book releases.
Are you an entrepreneur or small business owner? If so, you don't want to miss out on the opportunity of understanding the essential requirements of what it means to have financial freedom.

Do Your Stories Captivate Readers?
With each word you type, you have the opportunity to impact the world for Christ. Unfortunately, writing clichéd or heavy-handed novels is so easy that you may not even realize you’re failing to move readers.
What if you could find a more effective approach to crafting stories as a Christian?
Writing Is a Craft -- Five-star stories don’t happen overnight. You don’t need get-rich-quick schemes shoved in your face. You need training and support that sets you up for the long haul.
Storytelling Must Be Genuine -- Novels should be about more than a faith-based message. Storytellers honor God by imitating the way He tells stories, not by bland sermonizing.
For the Christian author looking to take their writing to the next level, Story Embers is here for you. I had the pleasure of being on a panel discussing difficult topics in Christian fiction, and let me tell you, the people behind Story Embers are here to help you create great stories.
Find out how by listening to my conversation with Josiah DeGraaf, Summit and Marketing Director at Story Embers on Tuesday, July 26th at 7 PM Eastern time.

If I could travel back to my eighth year that's when I began to learn how to play the piano. I didn't like playing the piano at that age and when my mother died three days before my 10th birthday, my dad asked me if I wanted to continue playing the piano and of course I responded, "NO!"
The funny thing is when I was in college all my extra classes were music, piano specifically. I also regretted that I didn't continue playing the piano.
After I began teaching, I purchased a very expensive piano and it just sat in the house until my younger son began playing and after he began teaching, I gave it to him because I thought he would use it more than I had.
In a world gone mad, is God still in control?
In this sequel to Solitary Man, Doyle wants to know what’s on the other side of the fence.
Determined to discover the truth, Doyle sets out on what he believes is a lonely quest, only to find out along the way that God is still at work, and there are still people who believe in Him.
While Doyle struggles with his new faith in Christ, he has his eyes opened to the darkness of this world and learns to set his sights on heavenly things while fighting the evils that threaten the people and world that he loves. And along the way, Doyle might finally solve the conflict in his soul and find that he does need others after all.

On June 11th, I chatted with Linda and Rich Nathan about psychedelics entering Christian circles:
Psychedelics are growing in Christian circles. But are they giving believers a closer relationship with God, or tearing them further apart?
Many Christians seek a deeper intimacy, but they want an experience, and not a relationship. Drugs such as marijuana, LSD, and other substances can alter the state of consciousness, giving one an experience. However, in the midst of that, we open the doorway to demonic influence.
We had a lot of comments and questions to this show so I have invited Linda and Rich Nathan back to answer and respond to them. Listen in at 646-668-8485. Follow PJC Media on podcast platforms everywhere. Or, click on the link here: http://tobtr.com/12115231.

Tale as old as time...
Most of us when we hear those first few lines can remember the Disney classic Beauty and the Beast.
Fairytales are those stories that have been passed down for generations. Within the context of the story, they evoke a sense of adventure, fear, moral conduct, and romance. Fairytales are timeless because they are ever relatable no matter the change in technology, or culture.
Retellings of fairytales have been put into unique combinations. Books like Cinder by Marissa Meyer reimagines Cinderella as a cyborg. Spike is a horror romance of Beauty and the Beast. The number of adaptations and retellings go on. What are some of the changes that modern retellings of the classic stories make?

On May 14th, we aired The Pathway to Freedom with Jon Fugler:
What are the pain points that stop you from having freedom? Is it stress, fatigue, hurry, loneliness, lack of purpose, health issues, private sins, burnout, weak faith and other things we can point out that hinder the pathway to freedom. As believers, we're not supposed to feel this way, but we do. These things affect and enslave us, preventing us from freedom.

When the officers arrived, they were met by the suspect, who was armed with an assault-syle weapon and fired in their direction. White said one officer was struck and his partner returned fire, fatally striking the man. The injured officer later was pronounced dead at a hospital.
The Police Chief James White hailed the officer who was killed while on the job near Joy Road and Marlowe Street as a hero.
The state's top law enforcement official added: "May we honor and remember him as a hero and recognize the sacrifice those in law enforcement make on a daily basis to protect our communities."

I can't believe it! Nine years ago, I aired my first show with much fear and trembling.
At the time, there weren't many shows like Write Stuff, advocating for Christian creatives, espeically Christian authors of all varieties. From that moment to this, I've interviewed hundreds of authors from all over the world, read lots of good books, and have promoted many diverse forms of Christian fiction and non-fiction. Through the written word, I've solidified friendships, and partnerships with many different people and have enjoyed growing in this part of my life.
It is with thanks that I dedicate this show to the Author and Finisher of my faith, my life, and my podcast.

What's wrong with being single? Absolutely nothing!
There's societal pressure to be WITH someone. For some people, anyone. As long as we're not alone. In church, it's generally taught that being a couple is better than being alone. After all, in Genesis, the Lord says, "It's not good for man to be alone."
Isn't this an edict? Get into a relationship, dear brother or sister... pronto!
But what if... you're happy being single? The desire for a relationship outside familial or platonic friendships has no appeal to you. Not because of trauma, bad relationships, religious and/or philosophical dogma like nuns or monks, or anything like that. Not because you're a loner clinging to isolation. It's just that you're simply happy and blessed to be single.
How do you navigate societal pressure to get into a relationship when you know being single is the way that God made you? What can churches do to engage and minister to these who want to serve Him in this capacity?

What is it like being a Christian living with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID)? That's the topic of today's discussion.
According to alarming statistics,1.5 % of the population in the United States have DID in some capacity. Previously known by it's more sensational name, Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD), this disorder has been sensationalized in books and movies for years.
Is DID as simple as an evil personality superseding the actions of the original personality? Is it merely living with different people in one's mind who takes over whenever the fancy comes upon them? Is it demonic possession?
Author Shann Tajiah joins me as we tackle this sensitive topic as one who lives with DID. In her frank, gentle way, she clarifies what DID is, what it isn't, the mental and spiritual aspects. Also, she gives us a clear understanding of what the current research says about this disorder. And lastly, if you are a believer who has DID, some encouragement for you.

In a historic and far reaching decision, the U.S. Supreme Court officially reversed Roe v. Wade on Friday, declaring that the constitutional right to abortion upheld for nearly a half century, no longer exists. It was said that the 1973 Roe ruling and repeated subsequent high court decisions reaffirming Roe must be overruled because they were egregiously wrong, the arguments exceptiionally weak and so damaging that they amounted to an abuse of judicial authority.
These means that young women today will come of age with fewer rights than their mothers and grandmothers. The court said that from the very moment of fertilization, a woman has no rights to speak of. A state can force her to bring a pregnancy to term even at the steepest personal and familial costs. With sorrow, for this court, but more for the many millions of American women who have today lost fundamental constitutional protection, we dissent, they wrote.

The Bible tells of a spiritual realm where heaven, angels, and God reside. Where is this mysteriously invisible realm? Science has opened the door to the possibility of higher spatial dimensions.
Could this be where heaven is?
sing God’s Word, this book will present evidence for the reality of the spiritual realm and also lay out the scientific evidence, from Einstein’s theory of relativity to string theory, that points to the possibility of a higher dimension or dimensions. Through this book, the everyday Christian will learn how to view the spiritual dimension or spiritual realm in a deeper way and will see clearly that there is much more to our universe than meets the eye. The seeking skeptic will also be presented with evidence that God is real and the Bible is His communication to man.
The foundation is laid from the Bible, from science and from understanding that we are three-dimensional beings created by a Grand Programmer to live in the physical and spiritual universe. Because of sin, mankind lost the ability to see the spiritual realm, but through Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, we can once again access the spiritual realm and live fully as God our creator intends.

The European slave trade in America begin around the year 1619. There are still forms of slavery and indentured servitude going on today.
Today we will focus on the Native Americans and their involvement with the slave trade.
Today, 167 countries still have some form of modern slavery, which affects an estimated 46 million people worldwide. Modern slavery can be difficult to detect and recognize in many cases. This is because slavery has moved underground in most countries and because the definition of slavery has expanded and evoled over the past several decades.
China, the earth's most populous country, has the second highest number of slaves at more than 3.8 million.

Money answereth all things…but what if the answer is hate?
Detest isn’t strong enough to describe the emotions Priscilla Deveaux harbors toward the filthy rich man who recklessly fathered and tossed her away like the trash her mother cleaned as a housekeeper in his family’s mansion. Rejected and shunned by the world of excesses she failed to fit into, the stunning Bahamian high school counselor wears freedom on her sleeve and rebuffs anything and anyone connected to wealth without remorse.
…until the father of one of the unruly students she counsels collides with the staunch morals she fiercely defends.
When his daughter’s behavior spirals out of control, millionaire Randy Knight wanders into Nassau Baptist Academy for a conference, uncertain what to expect. He certainly didn’t expect to find love in brilliant and beautiful Priscilla – or to risk losing her because he walked away from God.
Can Priscilla and Randy overcome the barriers which bind them, or will they find they are truly unequally yoked.

The two hours designed as an overview of what was described as a methodical conspiracy, led and coodinated by President Donald J. Trump, to thwart, the peaceful transfer of power and democracy itself.
Trump was the center of the plot. What was described as an elaborate, intentional scheme by Mr. Trump to remain in power, one unprecedented in America History and with dangerous implications for democracy. This was a culmination of an attempted coup.
Both leaders had blistering words for Mr. Trump and about the threat he poses to American democracy. They made it clear that for all his ongoing bluster about stolen elections, Mr. Trump had knowingly spread claims about election fraud that people closest to him knew were false.

New York voted Thursday to ban anyone age 21 from buying or possessing a semi-automatic rifle, a major change to state firearm laws pushed through less than three weeks after an 18-year old used one of the guns to kill 10 people at a supermarket in Buffalo.
Other new legislation will restrict civilian purchases of bullet-restrict armor, which was worn by the killer in Buffalo, and require new guns to be equipped with microstamping technology that can help law enforcement investigators trace bullets to particular firearms.
New York already reequires people to be 21 to possess a handgun. Younger people would still be allowed to have other types of rifles and shotguns under the new law, but would be unable to buy the type of fast-firing rifles used by the 18 year old gunmen in the mass shootings in Buffalo and at a Texas elementary school.

The ERS Arnon arrives in the Calypsa system on the trail of a pirate ship. They find their prize—in a graveyard. The vessel is empty, one of innumerable derelicts in orbit around Calypsa 4.

The person who shot his grandmother in her face drove to Robb Elementary school in Texas, entered the school through an open door and locked himself inside a fourth-grade classroom, killing 19 students and two teachers before law enforcement killed him.
One student was told from an officer to yell if you need help. One young lady said help and the shooter heard her and came in the room and shot her. It has been said that the shooter was in the school for over an hour.
It's been said that an officer was unable to stop him from entering the building. He called for back up and and two more policemen were also unable to stop him and they called for help. The policemen saw the shooter wearing body armour and carrying a rifle.
During Governor Abbott's press conference, Beto O'Rourke interrupted his press conference and told him that everthing that happened was on him!
Childhood. A time of endless discoveries and extraordinary dreams. Not all discoveries are pleasant, however, and some dreams prowl as wild-eyed nightmares. We who survived our youth did so by journeying through carrion wilderness, with life preying upon our innocence and wonder. Monsters ever hunted us, for monsters prefer the taste of children.
Sticks and Stones is a collection of dark, fantastical stories about those most vulnerable years. First heartaches. First goodbyes. First encounters with death and depravity.
Revisit childhood and learn why we're never supposed to tell lies.
Why we don't talk to strangers.
And why we never, ever wander into the woods alone.

We have always been taught to avoid failure... but what if I were to tell you that failure is the beginning of your success?
Failure teaches us and helps us grow in this thing call ourselves. From failure we learn solutions, and other important aspect of life.
But sometimes, failure isn't the problem, it's your PTSD.
The pandemic has caused many of us to experience PTSD in some form. We may have lost our jobs, homes, people, and more. However, use this as a steppingstone and not a stopping point.

What are the pain points that stop you from having freedom? Is it stress, fatigue, hurry, loneliness, lack of purpose, health issues, private sins, burnout, weak faith and other things we can point out that hinder the pathway to freedom. As believers, we're not supposed to feel this way, but we do. These things affect and enslave us, preventing us from freedom.
For a deeper dive, how do we define freedom? Where does it come from? Is it doing whatever I want? No restrictions? How can I travel the pathway to freedom?

According to the University of Oxford for 2017, thiis study estimates that 792 million people lived with a mental health disorder.
-
1 in 5 adults experience mental illness each year
-
1 in 6 U.S. youth aged 6-17 experience a mental health disorder each year
-
50% of all lifetime mental illness begins by age 14, and 75% by age 24

Take a leap of faith into a world unlike any you have ever known, one where mankind still remembers its foundations and all the earth is clothed in perpetual springtime. Here, angels and demons wage war for the souls of mankind, and man lives for hundreds of years, forever growing either in righteousness or in evil.
In these days, there are few who acknowledge where they have come from, few who keep hold of the one true God who wrought the world. For those who do, the blinders are ripped off and they see the truth: a world at war. Tucked just behind the veil of sense experience, battles rage and captives are taken as kingdoms collide and man is caught in the middle.
The shocking part is this: it’s our world. Discover the true story behind the origins of the world and experience the adventure of the times of the great biblical flood alongside characters like Noah, who finds his family caught up in the war for the survival of the human race.
In this fight against the forces of darkness and the deep wounds of their own souls, they will face great sacrifice and tragedy if they hope to reach the reward. Some of them will not make the journey, and those who do will never be the same.

Late last year, I saw a post that horrified me.
My good friend, Heather Hart, had come down with COVID.
She would be in the hospital for 31 days and would discover who the true Healer was as she battled the sickness. I can remember praying for her and her family, that the Lord would protect, heal, and bring her through.
Then, I saw her posts that began to detail what she went through as she battled COVID. And her verse was Psalm 118:7: "... I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord."

The benefits of home care is, it promotes healing and reduces the risk of infections: the patient is protected from the infections they are exposed to in hospitals.
Home care is more affordable than in-hospital care. Keeping someone in hospital surroundings for long can have a negative impact on their mental health.
Providing professional care at home helps personalize and customize the experience for the patient. When a patient is suffering from various problems, medication tends to go up, with many doctors giving different medicines for different problems.
Assisting in activities can help the patients feel less lonely and abandoned.
Tennessee just introduced a bill that would establish a new type of marriage - one that would not have any minimum age requirements. HB 0233 was introduced by Tom Leatherwood a Republican, in February, and has slowly made its way through the legislature since then. The bill would enshrine the concept of common law marriage into law, which is a legally recognized marriage that is automatically granted to couples that meet certain cohabitation requirements. In this case, the bill seeks to define common law marriage as a union between one man and one woman.
If a county clerk decided in favor of granting a minor a marriage license, that clerk would have the state of Tennessee on their side if someone were to bring a suit against them.
Here are10 reasons why we should get vaccinated: 1.) vaccine-preventable diseases have not gone away. The viruses and bacteria that cause illness and death still exist and can be passed on to those who are not protected by vaccines; 2.) vaccines will help keep you healthy. The CDC recommends vaccinations throughout your life to protect against many infections; 3.) vaccines are as important to your overall health as diet and exercise; 4.) vaccination can mean the difference between life and death. vaccine-preventable infections can be deadly; 5.) vaccines are safe. The US has a robust approval process to ensure that all licensed vaccines are safe; 6.) vaccines will not cause the diseases they are designed to prevent. Vaccines contain either killed or weakened viruses, making it impossible to get the disease from the vaccine; 7.) young and healthy people can get very sick, too. Infants and older adults are at increased risk for serious infections and complications; 8.) vaccine-preventable diseases are expensive and not taking the vaccine may have you spending more time away from your job because of the illness; 9.) when you get sick, your children, grandchildren, and parents may be at risk; 10.) your family and co-workers need you.
What if a group of people existed who were relatives of the people Jesus healed? What if those people possessed special powers as a result of a DNA change that occurred with the healing?

Drivers who take road trips often do so at their peril because the probability of getting into an accident increases significantly than during day-to-day traveling. The increased chance of accidents during a long drive can be attributed to many factors, including drive unfamilarity with the roadway, confusing road signs, and distraction by something in the environment, which may cause them not to pay attention or have clarity in mind while navigating through traffic-heavy streets. Understanding what causes road trip accidents is the first step to preventing them.
Distracted driving has become the main cause of vehicle collisions during road trips because of the increased dependency on electronic devices to provide directions, talking on cell phones, watching movies on electronic devices, and the long stretches of the road causing drivers to adjust the radio. It has been statistically proven that the higher the number of passengers, the more likely a driver is to be distracted.
Only use your cell phone for emergencies; Don't drive when you're feeling fatigued; Don't eat or drink fluids in spillable containers whhile you're driving; Perform all personal grooming while stopped; never attempt to multitask while driving.

On February 25th, the White House confirmed that President Joe Biden is nominating Ketanji Brown Jackson to the U.S. Supreme Court. Jackson, who currently serves as a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, and who the White House described as an "exceptionally qualified" nominee is poised to become the first Black woman to serve on the nation's highest court.
Though Black women are underrepresented as judges in the nation's court system, Jackson's nomination marks the lastest milestone in the history of Black women lawyers that date back 150 years. For many, civil rights was a major motivation for practicing law. With this in mind, TIME asked historians what women paved the way for this moment?
"For too long our government and our courts haven't looked like America," Biden said while introducing Jackson on Friday. "I believe it's time we have a court that reflects the full talents and greatness of our nation, with a nominee of extraordinary qualifications."

Thomas Jefferson once said that "the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."
On February 24th, Russia attacked Ukraine.
Shock rang throughout the Western world as we have watched the war escalate. Along with the war, numerous theories, stories, videos, and reactions spread like wildfire.
Truth, fact, and fiction mixed together to send tongues wagging.
The US and other countries responded by placing crushing sanctions on Russia, meant to deter and encourage peaceful resolution to the attack. It didn't.
Some thought the war would be over in a weekend... but no one suspected the tenacity of the Ukrainian people or its leader, President Zelensky who fight the superpower.
But along with this, has the ugly side of humanity shown its face -- journalistic biases, prejudice in the midst of warfare, and the most disturbing, the shadow of nuclear war, once attributed to a bygone era, now lingers on the horizon.
We watch as the complexities of geopolitics came to the forefront, seeing the dynamics of different countries taking sides, defense talks, and most importantly... how will this conflict end?

The phone call between Biden and China's Xi lasted about two hours and was "direct" and "substantive." The conversation was direct and detailed. The two leaders spent the preponderance of their time discussing Russia's unprovoked and unjustified invasion of Ukraine, as well as the implications of the crisis for US-China relations and the international order.
The war also has thrown the space industry into turmoil. One of the astrophysicist at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, has said that despite continued cooperation at the International Space Station, the war in Ukraine has thrown the space industry into turmoil. Western satellites were meant to go up on Russian rockets, are now stranded.
America has been trying to persuade Russia to extend the life of the station project until 2030, currently scheduled to end in 2024.
Is Dad a Bad Word?
You have heard it said, “boys will be boys.” But in this book, “Boys Will Be Men”, Christopher J. Weeks offers an up-close and personal view of how boys can and must become men, and eventually fathers. Sharing stories from his intimate experience with his own father, this book persuasively argues for the desperate need we all have for good dads. Topics include...
Seeing life's difficult challenges as the road to manhood. How a real woman can tame a man. Why words from a father really matter. The importance of Laughing, Singing, and finding Delight in your kids.
Perhaps the reason God the Father is not trusted in our culture is because we are bombarded with so many bad examples of human fathers. But in this book, you will get glimpses of how a good dad reflects the love and beauty of the Father who lives in heaven. Something society needs to witness more than ever.

If you're reading this, then my message has reached you. The era from which my story occurs is far or near yours. Christianity has successfully influenced over much of my world. However, our utopia is under siege by an atheist guerrilla group called the Open Eyes. They eventually learn that one of the founding members of our society has created the greatest invention of the age--the time machine. What they plan to use it on is unknown.
But I, Cally Harborfield of the Cherubim law enforcement will stop their dastardly goal.

Most people lie everyday without realizing it or thinking much of it. That coworker of yours that greets you with a smile everyday? Imagine that her husband is abusing her and it's all she can do to hang on. Yet, every morning when you ask how she is, she says she's doing great because that's the answer she's expected to give.
Most people can't be bothered enough to care, so it's easier to pretend everything is okay. Some people lie a lot and pretend to be someone they're not. They don't want to be completely open about some things. So they want to keep private thoughts and struggles to themselves.

American gun owners are still not getting the message that guns and children do not mix.In the last week, at least four children were injured by finding loaded guns - guns which legally should never have been left lying around where children were able to get them.
Police in Utah where a 9 year-old was shot in the head after finding a grandparent's weapon reinforced that all guns in a home should be unloaded in a safe, and that guns and ammo must be stored separately. If you don't have a safe then you can get what's called a trigger lock that you buy when you buy the gun, they are cheap. Or most police departments, you can go to and get those trigger locks. they give them away for free.
One day a 5 year-old child was shot in the chest by a gun that was found unsecured under a bed inside a Detroit home, police said.
Every day in America, kids get their hands on lethal weapons with disastrous consequences. This young man said he was going to watch cartoons. Instead, he opened his dad's gun safe. He reached up and took the key, opened the cabinet door and pulled a .357 magnum revolver with a snub nose. In a safe packed with rifles, it was the only loaded firearm. Tyler then sat on the floor and faced a mirror, gripping the pistol in his left hand. He raised the barrel to his temple and pulled the trigger.
When Salem Shaw locked eyes with Natalia McClinton roughly four years ago, he just knew that he had to have her as his wife. He’d picked wrong in his first marriage, but figured he’d learned, and that the second time would be the charm.
No matter how hard Natalia McClinton tried to keep Salem Shaw at an arm’s reach, she still managed to fall hard for him. So hard that she opened her mangled heart up to him, and allowed him to change her last name.
What could go wrong with a love that was worth the wait?
Fast forward to the present day, and needless to say, the ink has officially dried on their marriage license, the googly eyes have subsided, and the Shaws are in the thick of what it truly means to walk out the vows that they recited to one another.
When both Salem and Natalia are tempted to return to skeletons in their pasts, will they forfeit the love that they’ve grown accustomed to, or will they realize that they have something worth fighting for?

Life insurance can make a huge difference for you and your family, not just financially but emotionally, too. Purchasing a policy sooner, rather than later, will give you more options and flexibility as well as the financial security you'll need in the future.
Life insurance is an agreement between you and your insurance company. You make regular payments, called premiums, and insurance company pays your beneficiaries a tax-free lump sum of money when you die. With some policies, you get additionalbenefits to use during your lifetime like accessing the policy's cash value, which can be used for a down payment on a home. However, accessing the cash value will reduce the policy's available cash surrender value and death benefit. You can accelerate death benefits and us them for health care needs.
Get peace of mind for what matters most by discovering the different ways life insurance can help provide protection for you and your loved ones.
It's pretty hard to deny that being in love feels good. But did you know being in love is also good for you? It turns out that falling head over heels has quite a few tangible health benefits. Studies indicate that love impacts our mental, physical, and emotional wellbeing in unexpectated ways, and might even help us live longer.
It's no surprise that having the support of someone who loves you makes it easier to cope with stressful situations. But it turns out that love itself can reduce stress on a chemical level. As you move out of the honeymoon phase with your partner, oxytocin, the bonding hormone, starts to settle in. This hormone which gives you the "warm and fuzzies" when you're cuddling, is a powerful stress reliever.
Feeling loved can make you less anxious, but the effect is much stronger in stable, long-term relationships than it is in new romances. We're told that being in a loving relationship can heal us from within, but did you know that it has the power to help us heal on the outside too?
The study also revealed that the stress from an ordinary half-hour argument can slow healing by at least one day.
Being in love is linked to heart health. Studies show married people have half the risk of dying from heart disease as unmarried or uncoupled people. A 2015 study found that married people were 14% less likely than their unmarried counterparts to die in the hospital after a heart attack, They also stayed in the hospital an average of two days less.

Everly Johnson is every man’s dream of the perfect date, even though her audience has never met her. As host for the EnJOYing God’s Best program on JOY Radio in Blowing Rock, North Carolina, she receives countless gifts of flowers and candy from her listeners, some callers being more ardent than others. Everly has no interest in such offerings and promptly bestows the bounty on her mother’s assisted living facility. Everly wants words--heartfelt, meaningful endearments meant for her ears only. She wants a man who will open her eyes to everything she cannot see to make her feel like she’s more than just a voice behind the microphone.
Cameron Boyd is every woman’s dream of the perfect man. He’s intelligent, has a strong work ethic and career, lives on his own, and is downright adorable. But being an introvert can make eye contact with a pretty girl a challenge, let alone saying something coherent--unless it is the one-way conversation he has each Friday with Everly Johnson. Date night for Cam involves sitting alone on his back porch overlooking the Blue Ridge Mountains while he dreams of things to say if he were ever to meet her face-to-face.
A chance meeting changes everything.
Will Cam be able to step out of his comfort zone and into the world he has only been able to envision in his mind? Will Everly trust this stranger with her life as well as her heart?

Review last year and reflect on it before beginning your new year; make a New Year's resolution-don't wait until midnight on New Year's Eve to think of it.
Create new Habits. Did you know that your daily habits will either make or break the new year for you? From the moment you wake up until you fall asleep you're running on routine and habit. That's why 2022 will not be successful without creating new habits and making them stick. Choose one new successful habit that you can start. The easiest point of the day to add a habit are right when you wake up, before/after you eat or right before you brush your teeth for bed.
Some things you can do: regular exercises; taking time off to relax; meal planning; and booking your yearly physical, eye, and dental appointments
Some of the most precious things in life are born from struggle.Nature constantly reminds us that sometimes it takes a breakdown to have a major breakthrough. While there is tremendous pain, suffering and uncertainty all around us, there also is an opportunity for change. Because when things go wrong, there is also a greater opportunity to turn things around for the better. Our difficult seasons can also be a chance for us to change direcctions and let go of what no longer serves us.
Cancer for instance, taught me that we can't always prevent a troubling event from happening, but we can ALWAYS control how we respond. While I would never have chosen the most painful parts of my journey, I am grateful for all my pain has taught me about myself.
Trauma transforms us into different versions of ourselves.. Whether these changes are for better or worse is largely up to the choices we make.
Look for the silver lining in the situation; get your feelings on paper; shift from anger to forgiveness, and give and get support.
Creating New Things With God Starts With Seeing Yourself and Your Art in New Ways
The Creator of galaxies, oceans, wildflowers, and stallions made you creative. He gave you an imagination. Eyes to see what has never been. A voice to speak things into existence.
The reason why is astonishing. It’s not so you’ll get busy doing things for God. But so you’ll pursue the very things you love with God.
That is true creativity.
And this is your invitation to experience it as never before.
Allen Arnold—noted creativity author, coach, and speaker—has helped thousands with his teachings on co-creating with God. This book brings together his central insights on topics such as Imagination, Opposition, Questions, Wonder, and Expectancy. Each page features original quotes or timeless Scripture that, like waves, will wash over you, refresh you, and stir you to greater creativity.
Your art wants to grow deeper, wilder, truer. It’s just waiting for you to go first. It is a journey best taken one thought at a time. The goal isn’t to get somewhere fast. But to become more fully you along the way.

Tired of that winter snow? Follow me as we go to the Bahamas with Bahamian Christian author Kendy Ward!
As a little girl, she was deemed trash, and no one wanted anything to do with her. Now all grown up, as the brash owner of the Bahamas’ number one magazine and a fledgling clothing boutique, Reign Bryant has made good on her promise to silence her bullies with success. Although the painful remnants from her past lurk in her spirit, the swanky condo, luxury car and glamorous life she dreamed of through the tears keeps a smile plastered to her face. Still, a reckless mistake from her past haunts her every day, and quick-tempered Reign must make it right before it’s too late.
Handsome detective Storm Knight is Reign’s teenage crush. After 16 years of being absent from her life, Storm is the only person who can lead Reign to the redemption she so desperately craves.
Despite his arrogance, self-righteous attitude and polarizing opinions completely opposite of her own, Reign finds herself still attracted to the man who was her first love. Will Reign and Storm be able to put their differences aside, or will her last shot at redemption be her undoing and tear them apart forever?

How long do New Year's resolutios last? Most people quit soon after many of them make the resolution, but on January 1, don't keep them into February. New Year's resolutions are the very definition of best-laid plans. Most of us ring in the new year with ambitious intentions to lose weight, exercise more, or quit smoking, but our freshly minted goals are likely to fall apart even before February. That's according to 2018 data from Strava, a social network for athletes. The company analyzed more than 31.5 million fitness records from its users and found that the second Friday in January is the fateful day when most of our annual commitments starts to crumble. So, for 2020, that's January 10.
Sticking to resolutions is hard and we all know there's a lot of talk and pressure in January about getting fitter and being healthier. Granted, Strava's research only draws from its own user base, so it's slightly skewed, but an oftcited 1988 study from the Journal of Substance Abuse Treatment produced similar findings: only 55 percent of participants stuck to their resoluitions for a full month.
To make a resolution and stick with it: 1. Set a concrete goal that you truly believe you can achieve; 2. Don't fret the occasional slip-up; 3. Reward yourself; 4. Change your surroundings; and 5. Use the buddy system.
On July 11, 1804, a single bullet changed the course of American history . . . BUT WHAT IF IT DIDN’T?
Alexander Hamilton lies wounded and feverish after a deadly duel that ended the life of Vice President Burr. Hovering near death, he catches a glimpse of what lies ahead – and sees a Civil War that will consume a generation and poison America’s future. This vision compels him to return to the political arena. He sets his eyes on the Senate, and then the White House, enlisting former allies and reconciling with old enemies in his quest to become President and crush slavery. Overcoming great odds while facing down enemies at home and abroad, Hamilton moves steadily toward his goal - but there are some who will stop at nothing to derail the President’s crusade for liberty. Will they succeed?
President Hamilton reintroduces us to the founding generation – the brilliant, crafty Thomas Jefferson, the diminutive genius James Madison, and professional curmudgeon John Adams – and brings on the next generation of American leaders – Henry Clay, John C. Calhoun, John Quincy Adams, and Andrew Jackson – in a lively epic of alternative history that begins with the famous duel at Weehawken and rewrites the history of the Nineteenth Century. Can Hamilton persuade the Southern states to change their course? Can his powers of persuasion move the conscience of a nation? Can one man change history?
Listen into the conversation as I chat with returning guest co-host and contributor Lewis Smith as we speculate with his novel of alternative history on December 23rd, at 8:30 PM Eastern time.

She has nothing to lose, but loving her could cost him everything. Is he willing to risk it all a second time around when she has less than thirty days to live?
Renowned motivational speaker Nina Marie Robinson has received a grim prognosis. With the little time she has left, she’s giving one last commencement speech at her alma mater Jackson State University and taking a well-deserved vacation to the Bahamas. Nina is also determined to show her college sweetheart she’s still in love with him, but can she convince him to drop everything and board that plane with her?
Andrew McCall is one step away from being promoted to professor at Jackson State University. If anything goes wrong, Andrew will find himself in the last place he wants to be—chief executive officer of McCall Resorts as his father’s successor. When Nina comes to town and requests that he accompany her to the Bahamas, will he have to choose between the woman he’s always loved and everything he’s worked for?

Mr. Kevin Strickland left the Western Missouri Correctional Center after staying more than 40 years. He had been 18 years old when he went to prison and his first prosecution stumbled with a hung jury, but a panel convicted him of three murders in 1979 despite no physical evidence tied him to the crime. An eyewitness later recanted her testimony.
Strickland, now 62, was convicted in the 1978 shooting deaths of one person 20,one 21, and the third person was 23. They were all killed on April 25, 1978.
"It was not just a village, but a movement to bring him home," said Tricia Bushnell, the director of the Midwest Innocence Project. She confirmed that Strickland is back with his love ones after being ripped away from his life and family.
Retired Missouri Judge ordered that Strickland be immediately released because his conviction should be overturned because it was not based on physical evidence but only on the since-recanted eyewitness's testimony. He was given $750,000.
A meteor crashed into earth and shattered my world on November 5, 2021. Granny, who had always been a part of my life, passed away.
For years, I've always strived to be sympathetic to those who experience grief by the passing of a loved one. However, sympathy, though well and good, can never take the place of a real experience. When the smoke cleared and I stared at the crater that impacted my world. I found myself overwhelmed with grief. I know I'm supposed to be sad...but what about that odd numbness that creeps in? I know I may experience anger...but what about those moments when I forget she passed away only to be struck by the unwelcomed reminder that she isn't here anymore. Or, even worse -- what if I feel as if I am going out of my mind?
Am I ever going to get through this?
Today's show has a more personal slant as I chat with Gary Roe, author, and advocate for people who are hurting and grieving as he helps me navigate this world of grief. A candid conversation about processing grief, accepting it, and learning how to act in love with well-meaning people who only make our sorrow worse at times. More importantly, that Jesus was 'a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief' and what that means for those of us who are grieving. Finally, how to survive the holidays and special events when our loved ones are gone.

Testimony and video footage shown during the two-week trial revealed that Mr. Rittenhouse was chased into a parking lot, at one point byJoseph Rosenbaum, 36 who was unarmed and behaving erratically. Mr. Rittenhouse turned and shot him at close range, killing Mr. Rosenbaum, who had been living in Kenosha.
Mr. Rittenhouse then shot two other people - Anthony Huber and Gaige Grosskreutz - who pursued Mr. Rittenhouse as he fled, testimony showed.
Over the course of the trial, prosecutors sought to portray Mr. Rittenhouse, a former resident of Antioch, III., as an instigator who had behaved with criminal recklessness, inserting himself into a volatile scene of demonstrators and then firing his gun with little provocation.
There was chaos that night in Kenosha, Mr. Binger the prosecutor, told the jury in his opening statement. But "the only one who killed anyone," he said, "was the defendant, Kyle Rittenhouse."
President Biden's Infrastructure bill drew ample support over the summer from Republicans in the Senate. But in the days since House Repubicans broke with their own colleagues and voted for the $1 trillion legislation last week, they have been flooded by menacing messages from voters, even some of their own colleagues who regard their votes as a betrayal.
The reaction to the passage of the bill, reflects how deeply polarization has seeped into the political discourse within the Republican Party, making even the most uncontroversial legislation a potentially toxic vote.
The dynamic is a natural outgrowth of the slash-and-burn politics of former President Donald J. Trump, who savaged those in his party who backed the infrastructure bill as "RINOs" which means Republicans in name only, who should be "ashamed of themselves."
There are several situations in which a couple should start with couples therapy instead of coaching. A couple managing an infidelity should begin with couples therapy, and often individual therapy for each, to work through the grief and negative feelings associated with that situation.
Relationships that include emotional, physical intimacy or physical abuse require a therapist, counselor, or psychologist to manage the aggression and power dynamics between the individuals.
Lastly, couples dealing with trauma (loss of a family member, for example) can benefit from a therapeutic approach to address the thoughts and feelings regarding that event before considering couples coaching.
Finding a couples coach who has a background in couples work from a mental health perspective can be valuable because they will recognize if you should begin with therapy or coaching and avoid exacerbating any presenting issues.

The House of Representatives voted Thursday to hold Steve Bannon in contempt of Congress after he declined to comply with a subpoena from lawmakers investigating the January 6 riot setting up the Department of Justice to weigh criminal charges against the Trump ally.
The House voted 229-202 to hold Bannon in contempt, with nine Republicans voting alongside every House Democrat.
The vote comes two days after the House select committee investigating the U.S. Capitol riot, unanimously recommended holding Bannon in contempt of Congress because he didn't testify before lawmakers or turn over a range of documents.
Members of the January 6 committee say Bannon may have pertinent information about the riot, and argue holding him in contempt will encourage other witnesses to cooperate, but some House Republilcans who opposed contempt for Bannon, have cast the select committee-made up of seven Democrats and two Republicans. Bannon's attorney has argued his client can't follow the select committee's suboena because former President Trump plans to assert "executive privilege," a legal doctrine allowing the president to keep certain internal documents secret.
Angelica and her companions rise from the ashes of the Battle of Houston, contemplating their next move.

There's nothing like putting on a show. Lights! Camera! Action!
Sometimes, our walk with Christ can be based on performance -- making sure you dot the i's and cross the t's.
Did I read my bible today? Check!
Did I say a quick prayer? Check!
Did I visit someone sick and shut in? Check!
The checklist of things to do FOR God continue on. When we perform, we're focusing on an outward appearance and not the inward. Now, to be clear, none of what I mentioned above is wrong. In fact, they are good things.
But God doesn't want a performance. He wants a relationship WITH us.
So, how do we know if we're preforming instead of developing a relationship? What are the signs? Does it matter?
These and many more questions we are going to answer as I chat with my returning guest co-host and contributor Jon Fugler today, October 16th at 5 pm Eastern time as we talk about this and about having FRESH FAITH 24/7.

Haitians have sought asylum at US borders for decades, but every presidential administration since the 1970s has treated Haitians differently than other migrant groups, rejecting asylum claims, holding them longer in detention, and making it harder for them to settle down in safety. In the early 1990s for example, when the United States detained more than 12,000 Haitian refugees at Guantanamo indefinitely.
The United States inhumane treatment of Haitian refugees, whom the country has often cast as criminals, unskilled, diseased, and poor, has been a central part of the immigration detention story. Policies were specifically designed to deter Haitians from coming in.
Haitians are still reeling from the January 2010 earthquate that affected 3 million people, causing irreparable damage to homes and infrastructure. Gangs have since risen in power, leading many Haitians to live in fear for their lives and families.

Maybe you're going through life unfulfilled, unfocused, searching for meaning, but nothing fills the void. What's missing and what's the point of it all? To find real meaning in life, we need to know who made us and why.
All life begins with GOD, who designed each of us in His likeness. The Bible says it this way: '"So GOD created man in His own image, male and female He created by GOD." We were created by GOD to be like Him, to love Him and to have a relationship with HIM.
The problem is instead of loving Him, we chose to love ourselves more. Instead of freely serving, we chose to serve ourselves.
This is called sin and it broke our relationship with GOD. Until we restore that relationship, we will never kknow our true purpose or what really matters.
Every October, I highlight Christian authors who understand how Christian fiction and the horror genre work hand in hand. For some, hearing this may sound a bit odd. How can Christ be glorifed in a genre that celebrates darkness, and demonic influences? How in the world can you say Christian fiction can be a vehicle in a genre that shows evil as the usurper of all good? How can you find enjoyment in darkness? We are supposed to be children of light.
Those are fair questions and valid concerns so gather around the fire as chat with me and my guest co host Sean Rainwater today, October 7th at 7 pm Eastern time as we tackle the subject. We discuss Sean's sci-fi horror book, Hades Proper, we chat about our favorite horror flicks and why. We even delve into the difference between being distrubed by a horror flick and being entertained and what the implications are. There's so much to the conversation.

Menopause is a natural biological process. As women approach their late 30s, the ovaries start producing less estrogen and progesterone (the hormones that regulate menstruation) and fertility begins to decline. At the age of forty, women may notice periods becoming more erratic and less frequent. By the age of fifty-one (on the average) the ovaries eventually stop releasing eggs and periods stop all together.
Symptoms of menopause: hot flashes; trouble sleeping; irritability and /or mood changes; vaginal dryness; depression; weight gain and slowed metabolism; and night sweats.
Staying healthy after menopause: healthy diet-make sure you get enough calcium and vitamin D to keep bones strong; quit smoking and limit alcohol use; exercise-keep active. Don't forget getting advice from your doctor. They can help you navigate some of the trickier aspects of health when it comes to menopause.
Some people think I never stop talking, but having the ability to hold a conversation is definitely better than not knowing how to talk at all. They say I bully people without realizing it and that I'm always complaining and talking behind people's backs. That I stir up drama and that I can't be counted on to take accountability, but that I like to be in control by taking people down and that I don't take responsibility for my actions. I would just like to know what would happen if I stopped talking to people?
Maybe I should meet new people in order to learn how to change for the better. The more interaction and experience I have talking to others and listening to them, the better I will be at it.
An Introvert walks into a bar... and orders a beer. They neither look right or left but head toward the back of the room, in the corner, in the dark, away from the people.
So is the perception of introverts in general.
AS for writers introverts abound but are perceived in odd lights. Are introverts people haters? Are they condescending, loners, and know-it-alls? Does being rude seem to be the mantle they were like Superman's cape? Are they jealous of the extroverts? These questions may seem rhetorical, but misconceptions about introverts are rampant.
With me to help unveil the minds of introverts is my very brave co-host and contributor today, Cathy McCrumb. Together, we'll talk about introverts and what makes them tick as well as response to accusations that introverts are just quiet wallflower content to sit in a room talking to puppets.
And depending on what introvert you're talking to, they may or may not be a joke!

Extroverted writers. They do exist.
What prompted the idea for this show was a fascinating discussion I had with my writer friends in a private social media group. I simply asked, "What's it like being an introvert?"
I received all sorts of responses, all of them enlightening. I felt like Spock whenever he observed or studied human behavior. More or less, they were the opposite of me as an extrovert. I love people. I love talking to people. I am energized by the people. I see each person as a walking storybook I'd love to read. Within the group, one or two other extroverted writers chimed in as well with the same reaction.
It should be mentioned that introverts don't HATE people -- but that's a subject for another show.
Today, with my returning guest co-host Allen Steadham, and fellow extrovert, we're going to talk about our view of extroverted writers today, September 21st, at 7 pm Eastern time.

This special episode of the Write Stuff pays tribute to Shoshanna Gabriel, a former erotica writer who became a Christian romance writer five years ago. On September 11th she went home to be with the Lord.
I was saddened to hear this news as Shoshanna was a wonderful writer, mother, and friend, Those who knew all spoke well about her.
In this episode, I sit and chat with Lisa Prysock, one of the project heads of the Save the Date anthology of which Shoshanna Gabriel was a part of. Her short story in this anthology is possibly the last story she wrote. We will also pay tribute to another author, Marion Ueckerman, another author part of this anthology who passed a little over a month ago.
Listen in as Lisa and I reminiscence about Shoshanna's testimony and then play selected portion of her episode we broadcast about scriptures for writers, today, September 14th at 7 pm Eastern time.

Multiverses. Time travel. Parallel Universes. Dystopian worlds. Alien Civilizations. Space exploration. Artificial Intelligence. Robots.
These are just some of the some of the more popular tropes and themes expressed into today's science fiction shows, books, and other media. As more people gravitate to the speculative fiction world of imagination, greater content is produced that is bent heavily toward that specific genre.
But what has changed about science fiction say, from earlier stories of the late 19th and 20th century till now? What popular movies or shows have influential to this genre? How has it evolved?
I'll warn you now, there's going to be a LOT of Star Trek references because Allen Steadham, my guest cohost and I are both fanatics about the show. If you're a science fiction fan, listen in as Allen and I chat about the state of science fiction as we see it today, Tuesday, September 7th, at 7 pm Eastern time. You can listen in at 646-668-8485.

When you are marked for distinction, it means you are someone who is going to do well in life. You will set yourself apart from others.
Distinction means being set apart, often by excellence. When things are distinct from one another, they are different.
Distinction usually means a sign of real accomplishment.
Pass means doing it and actually achieving what you have done. But when pass is with distinction, it means you passed but not just passed, you put your effort, skill and talent in whatever you were doing. It means you over achieved!
Facebook says it has added several security features to help people in Afghanistan control their accounts as fears rise of reprisals from the Taliban.
In a series of tweets late Thursday, FB's head of security said the company had temporarily disabled the ability to view and search the friends lists of FB accounts inside Afghanistan. He also said the platform, which is seeing a proliferation of new Taliban accounts despite a ban on the group, had provided a tool to help Afghans quickly lock their accounts if they feared being targeted.
The unprecedented measures target one of the most fundamental FB features: the friends list. They represent a frank acknowledgment from the company, which has long touted its ability to connect the world, of the risks of having personal information available on social networks. Since the Taliban retook control of Afghanistan this week, their promises of amnesty and reconciliation have been undermined by reports that their soldiers are engaging in reprisal attacks and forcible cracking down on protests.
A motivational coach offers their encouragement along the way. These are a few things that a motivational coach can help you with.
1). Assessing your situation: Where are you at currently and where do you want to be?
2). Setting clear goals: Why do you want the help of a coach?
3). Creating an action plan: Your coach will create a personalized action plan for you and your goals.
4). Tracking your progress: Achieving goals isn't as simple as creating a plan, you also need to manage your progress.
Enlisting the services of a motivational coach doesn't mean you are incapable of accomplishing your goals on your own, it simply means you'd benefit from having some extra support along the way.
There are signs that the divorce rate is rising as couples struggle with the emotional and economic fallout of the past eleven months. Divorce filings rose dramatically in China after the COVID-19 lockdown ended in March. In the U.S. sales of online self-help divorce agreements rose by 34% compared to last year. Family lawyers surveyed in April and July reported 25% to 35% requests to start divorce proceedings compared to the same time in 2019.
A lot of bad behaviors during the coronavirus pandemic such as substance abuse and ography are unhealthy releases for relationships. In a recent case, one spouse just left and started another romantic relationship without even attempting to cover it up.
As the pandemic rises, many couples are looking to separate only to find their plans put on hold before they even begin.

A mutant strain of the coronavirus that some researchers believe is more infectious, is rampaging across the globe. Dozens of San Francisco health care workers have been infected with the coronavirus over the past six weeks, a reflection of what's happening across the community since the state reopened and the delta variant surged. The Delta variant continues to tear across the United States causing hospital rates to soar and leading the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to recommend that even people who are fully vaccinated resume wearing masks in indoor publlc spaces in most parts of the country.
Luckily for us, the Delta variant is far less likely to cause serious disease or death in people who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19. However, the variant does have a formidable super power: It replicates far more rapidly and efficiently in the human body than any previous known variant.
Some have the idea that the world is spinning out of control and there's nothing we can do about it. It seems that the shootings and attacks and bombs and the constant stream of awful stuff that is happening out there is causing chaos and insecurity. In my opinion, the world isn't any worse than it has been, it's just that we're more aware of all of the bad things than ever before. The violence isn't new, it's just that we are more aware of all the bad things than ever before. "The violence is not new;" says Ta-Nehisi Coates, "it's the cameras that are new." Cameras, the internet, and social media are giving us information and this constant awareness of every fault and flaw of our humanity, combined with an inundation of doomsayers and narcissistic persons which is what is causing this constant feeling of a chaotic and insecure world that doesn't actually exist.
Confront those who are intimidating you and remember that the person mocking you is a reflection of the bully, not of your worth as a person. This person is having their own problems and is wrongly taking them out on you.
Tell them to stop. Sometimes taking a firm stand and addressing those making fun of you head on, works. Explain calmly to the person that you do not appreciate their comments.
Stay calm, their goal is to hurt you and see you sad. If you refuse to react that way denies them the satisfaction of knowing they got to you.
Take a deep breath and count to ten, then you could say, "You may be right, I'll have to check that," and walk away slowly laughing. Whatever you do, DO NOT BULLY BACK!

Learn how to write characters readers will love. Has an industry professional told you not to dump character history at the beginning of your story? If so, you aren't alone. But what's the solution to this common advice? Most writers take the time to design interesting characters with troubled pasts. They long for readers to care about the characters' lives. However, the sad truth is on page one, readers don't care—yet. That's why industry gurus tell writers to stop overusing character history, also called backstory, at the beginning of stories.
Have you ever wondered... How to use backstory correctly? What are the ways other writers successfully incorporate backstory into their work? Do tools exist to help writers better plan stories so the backstory isn't such a problem?
In Focused Backstory: The Key to Writing Deep Character Journeys, you'll find answers to these questions and more. You'll learn how to avoid the dreaded info-dump and instead harness curiosity so readers keep turning pages. This resource breaks down focused backstory into simple pieces to use flexibly in any story no matter what genre or length.
Join me as I chat with Carol Alwood about effectively using backstory to create deep character journeys on Tuesday, June 29th at 7 pm Eastern.

Current state rules require those carrying handguns to have a licence, training and backgroung checks. But Texas's Republican-run senate has voted to drop the restrictions, despite warnings from gun control groups that the measures could put lives at risk. Supporters say the new measures would allow Texans to better defend themselves in public.
Critics say the bill puts lives at risk Beverly Powell, a Democratic senator, raised safety concerns from some law enforcement groups that opposed the bill. "If I sit down at a restaurant with a gentleman or woman who has a holster on their side and a gun in it, I want to know that person is well-trained in the use of that gun," she said.
The bill would still allow businesses to ban guns on their property and keep federal background checks for some gun purchases. After passing in a 18-13 vote in the senate on Monday, the bill will now go to Mr. Abbott, who has already indicated that he will sign it into law.
Sex, sexuality, and sin -- the Three S's.
When it comes to mainstream Christian fiction, there's a deliberate avoidance of said topics as a lot of mainstream publishers wish to focus on Christian living, devotion, or a plethora of other safe topics.
When it comes to these topics among some Christian -- Shh! Don't about them. You don't want to lead people astray!
Well, it's a given that people both in and out of the church are already astray. This doesn't mean that we are suppose to let people not know what the word of God says about these things. And they're very specific. God deals in absolutes and this is offensive to many people.
How best do we approach these sensitive topics? My guest today, Suprina Frazier, has taken this on in her new book called Uncommon Duo and she's jumped into the frying pan to help us tackle it.

In thinking about June 19th in Galveston, Texas 1865, when enslaved people received the word that they were free. I wonder how they felt finding out that they had been free two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation had taken effect. I think about the time it took for more than 250,000 enslaved Texans to experience what some 3 million other formerly enslaved Americans already had.
Although Texan planters had long known the Civil War was over, they had hoped to get more harvest out of their human property. In this country, hiding history has always been about maintaining control, denying concession, and delaying justice.
Commemorating Juneteenth is appropriate. It marks the end of race-based chattel slavery, a massive economic system that enriched white slaveholders at the expense of Black laborers. It also took the bloodiest war, the Civil War, to finally abolish slavery. It is therefore, appropriate to annually acknowledge one of the most important events in U.S. history.
There are 3 men who paid $55 million to travel to outer space. Two are grandfathers, The other has three young children. All three are extremely wealthy, with the means to pay the $55 million ticket price for an eight-day stay on the International Space Station. They are the first would-be spaceflight crew comprised entirely of private citizens in a mission to the station.
Sometime early next year, if all goes according to plan, the trio: Larry Connor, the managing partner of the Connor Group, a real estate investment firm based in Ohio; Mark Pathy, the chief executive of Mavrik Corp., a Canadian investment firm; and Eytan Stibbe, a businessman and former Israeli Air Force fighter pilot, will lift off from the Kennedy Space Center aboard a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft for what is scheduled to be an eight-day stay on the International Space Station. Accompanying them will be Michael Lopez-Alegria, a former NASA astronaut who flew to space four times and is now a vice president of Axiom Space, the Houston-based company that is coordinating their trip to space. Lopez-Alegria is overseeing their training and will serve as the mission's commander.
It's important to know that many things masquerade as Christianity but God calls us to use discernment. How do you know what is truth?

Depression (major depressive disorder) is a common and serious medical illness that negatively affects how you feel, the way you think and how you act. Fortunately, it is also treatable. Depression causes feelings of sadness and/or a loss of interest in activities you once enjoyed. It can lead to a variety of emotional and physical problems and can decrease your ability to function at work and at home.
Depression symptoms can vary from mild to severe and can include:
feeling sad or having a depressed mood; loss of interest or pleasure in activities once enjoyed; changes in appetite-weight loss or gain unrelated to dieting; trouble sleeping or sleeping too much; loss of energy or increased fatigue; increase in purposeless physical activity (e.g., inability to sit still, pacing, handwringing) or slowed movements or speech (these actions much be severe enough to be observable by others); feeling worthless or guilty; difficulty thinking concentrating or making decisions; thoughts of death or suicide.
Symptoms must last at least two weeks and must represent a change in your previous level of functioning for a diagnosis of depression.
Here are10 reasons why we should get vaccinated: 1.) vaccine-preventable diseases have not gone away. The viruses and bacteria that cause illness and death still exist and can be passed on to those who are not protected by vaccines; 2.) vaccines will help keep you healthy. The CDC recommends vaccinations throughout your life to protect against many infections; 3.) vaccines are as important to your overall health as diet and exercise; 4.) vaccination can mean the difference between life and death. vaccine-preventable infections can be deadly; 5.) vaccines are safe. The US has a robust approval process to ensure that all licensed vaccines are safe; 6.) vaccines will not cause the diseases they are designed to prevent. Vaccines contain either killed or weakened viruses, making it impossible to get the disease from the vaccine; 7.) young and healthy people can get very sick, too. Infants and older adults are at increased risk for serious infections and complications; 8.) vaccine-preventable diseases are expensive and not taking the vaccine may have you spending more time away from your job because of the illness; 9.) when you get sick, your children, grandchildren, and parents may be at risk; 10.) your family and co-workers need you.

When I met Tom Albaugh face to face in the summer of 2017, we were both looking forward to his show later that year. We hugged each other on campus at Biola University and waved goodbye.
A few months later, I reached out to Tom about the show we were scheduled for.
He told me that he'd lost his son, Michael, through suicide, just a few days before.
My heart broke for him, and I remember saying we can reschedule for another time. He chose to go on with the show because, as he said, "It gives me something else to think about."

Twenty-five families in India's capital Delhi woke up to the news on Friday morning that someone they loved had died in the city's Sir Ganga Ram hospital, reportedly because coronavirus patients could not get enough oxygen. The hospital's medical director said a severe shortfall had slowed the flow of oxygen to 25 of the sickest patients, who needed a high pressure stable supply.
The tragedy came at the end of a week where several major hospitals in Delhi have repeatedly come close to running out of oxygen, which can help patients with the virus who need support with their breathing to stay alive.
On Tuesday, it took a desperate public plea from the chief minister and an intervention from the high court for the Indian central government to organize a late night refill. An oxygen tanker eventually arrived at Sir Ganga Ram hospital on Friday morning, shortly after a dire warning that 60 more patients were on the verge of death.
God and politics -- do I need to say more?
In recent years, God and politics have become such volatile topics that even to mention one's political party is to, in the eyes and ears of 'the other' is to sum up that person's identity. Phrases like, "You can't be a Christian and a X" are thrown about with wild abandon -- as if God sits on the throne with an elephant or a donkey on either side of Him.
How can we agree to disagree when the cancel culture, beating at the door, is quick to shut down anyone who does not agree with the majority? When do we as Christians reach out in love and say, "I may disagree with your stance, but you are still my brother and sister in Christ?"
Or is it too late?

Digital currencies and the ledgers that hold the transactions offer much more freedom than government-backed currency but come with fewer protections. The inspiration for the whole system was avoiding bank fees and all the regulations that go along with organized financial institutions. The flip side of that coin is that there are endless opportunities for new solutions and no limits on creativity. How do you get started as a cryptocurrency investor? First, you'll need an account on a cryptocurrency exchange. These platforms allow you to buy, sell and hold virtual currency. Coinbase is one of the most well-known platforms. The company was founded in 2012, and went public in April via direct listing as opposed to a more traditional IPO. Some investment companies that offer traditional stock trading services also offer crytocurrency options. Once you've selected a trading platform, you'll need a wallet to store your virtual currency. These are "hot" wallets because they are always connected to the internet. Your other choice is a "cold" wallet. If your portfolio grows significantly, you can use both options and store the majority of your coins offline while keeping some amount in an online wallet to make trading easier.

Out of the end of the world as we know it, comes the beginning of the world we dreamed of and prayed for.
In a small Iowa town, survivors of unprecedented global war and natural disasters set out to rebuild their lives. So much of what has happened in recent weeks defies explanation for the remnant of the resistance to the last Dictator, survivors of the last human war.
Out of tribulation and loss, they stumble into a fresh breeze of hope that seems too good to be true. Yet, peace has fallen all around the world, and the new ruler in Jerusalem enforces that peace through an odd assortment of people spread over the Earth. Even the weather and wildlife have been transformed for the comfort of the remaining people.
Could this be what the Christians looked forward to for millennia, the Kingdom of God come to Earth, the Reign of Jesus Christ?
Even in the face of gracious prosperity, for the world and its inhabitants, the seeds have been planted for one last human revolt against God.

Since Derek Chauvin has been found guilty on all counts, there has been a list of persons who have been killed by police: Ma'Khia Bryant, 16 was swinging a knife during a fight with another person in Columbus; on Wednesday morning, a deputy fatally shot and killed a Black man while serving a search warrant in eastern North Carolina. An eyewitness said that Andrew Brown Jr. was trying to drive away, and that deputies fired at him multiple times; in the San Diego suburb of Escondido, police said an officer fatally shot a man who was apparently striking cars with a metal pole. On Thursday, a funeral will be held for Daunte Wright, a 20-year-old Black motorist who was shot during a traffic stop this month in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, just a few miles from the courthouse as the Chauvin trial unfolded. In Chicago last month thirteen year old Adam Toledo was fatally shot less than a sexond after he tossed a gun and began raising his hands as an officer had commanded. Kim Potter, a white police officer, has been charged with second-degree manslaughter in Wright's shooting. The former police chief said Potter mistakenly fired her handgun when she meant to use her Taser; Potter resigned from the force afterward. Anthony J. Thompson, Jr, 17, in Tennessee, was shot dead in a high school bathroom by officers responding to a report of a student with a gun. During a scuffle with officers in the restroom, the student's gun went off, and officers fired twice. On average, three people per day have been killed by law enforcement since testimony against Chauvin had begun.
Peace. It is so sweet, so rich, so meaningful. We are not just talking about an absence of conflict, but a quality of life that stretches the limits of our comprehension. Such a depth of peace and rest is elusive in our world, but it is normal for the God who created us. For those who are at peace with God, simply experiencing His presence is enough to calm our anxious souls.
Because peace and rest begin with God, it is no surprise that this world is so full of unrest. The mindsets, systems, and expectations that so naturally define our human existence, at nearly every turn, hinder the richness of peace that flows from the kingdom of heaven.
The Search for Rest is a fifty-day devotional designed to help us adjust to God's ways. Each daily reading includes an inspirational quote, Bible passages to read, an instructive lesson, questions for group use, and a practical "Peace Step" to help you apply the principles involved. Reading this book comes with no guarantee for total life transformation. But if you take its contents to heart, and if you make a genuine effort to follow through on what you learn, you will come away changed. Simply take things one day at a time, with one step after another, and the peace, freedom, and joy that you have always longed for will become more and more and more your reality.

REBROADCAST
What is one of the number fears most people experience? The fear of failure. This is the second book in a series focusing on failure, which is designed to accompany my initial book on failure; Failure Is Not The Problem, It’s The Beginning Of Your Success. I specifically wrote this workbook to help ease the pain of reading about failure. This workbook is intended as a read along with my initial book. The topic of failure is not a subject people tend to embrace without some coaching. Therefore, use the workbook as a personal guide to challenge you as you embark on what may be unfamiliar territory. George Milton has written a workbook which includes a 12 Step program structured on how to change your mindset regarding “FAILURE” From Negative to Positive. Following these steps, if obeyed with consistency can propel you to move from where you are to where you are meant to be.

In the beginning, I was adament about not taking the vaccine because I was healthy and didn't feel that I needed it. What one person was worried about was complications and believed that some people were having life-threatening reactions to the vaccine that the media wasn't reporting.
A recent poll found that one in four Americans said they would refuse a coronavirus vaccine outright if offered. Some researchers are increasingly worried that this reticence will be enough to prevent the nation from reaching what's known as "herd immunity" (when a large part of the population of an area is immune to a specific disease). This provides indirect protection of the population of those who are not vaccinated.
Reaching high levels of vaccination would mean new outbreaks of the coronavirus would die down quickly, as opposed to growing and spreading.
Six thousand years ago a war began. A war to rule Heaven and Earth that dates all the way back to the Garden of Eden. In the Garden, God told Satan that one day a woman would give birth to a male child – the Messiah, who would redeem humanity and destroy him. In order to prevent this child’s birth, Satan instigated a fallen angelic rebellion.
Using a literal reading of Scripture, we are given a complete picture of the war between two bloodlines – the lineage of the Messiah and the seed of Satan. Exploring passages rarely connected to the giants, you will discover new revelations regarding the Nephilim including:
The Biblical location of the heavenly portal used by angels to enter the earthly realm. How were angels able to reproduce with human women? Who was the first human woman to marry the fallen Sons of God and conceive a child? Who was the fallen angel who ruled the preflood world? Wait! There's many more!
Citing dozens of ancient Christian and Jewish writings from the first century AD through the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries, the author provides a thorough side-by-side comparison of the Bible and the extra-Biblical texts on this topic. This book is a must-read! This is the story of God’s enduring love for all people and His promise to bring redemption through the prophesied Savior. This is the Judgment of the Nephilim.

When the world looks at the United States they are puzzled by the many mass shootings. Some speculate that American society is unusually violent. Or its racial divisions have frayed the bonds of society. Or its citizens lack proper mental care under a health care system that draws frequent derision abroad.
Americans make up about 4.4% of the global population but own 42% of the world's guns. From 1966 to 2012, 31% of the gunmen in mass shoots worldwide were American, according to a 2015 study by a professor at the University of Alabama.
Adjusted for population, only Yemen has a higher rate of mass shootings among countries with more than 10 million people. Yemen has the world's second-highest rate of gun ownership after the United States.
If mental health made the difference, the data would show that Americans have more mental health problems than people in other countries with fewer mass shootings.

I had a young girl on my show in recent weeks who invigorated my spirit. She was twelve years old and had already starred in a music video, spoken in front of the masses, wrote a book, and was just getting started. As she talked to me on her show, her family and friends called in, supporting her, encouraging her, and uplifting her. Interviewing her as I did, I felt the power of her child-like faith like physical touch.
I thought I knew what it meant to have child-like faith until I met her. Or, maybe I had forgotten. Through her faith, my own increased. It calls to mind the verse in Luke 18:10 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.
I had another young man on my show a few years ago. He said, "You're never too young to begin your dream." At the time, he was about fifteen or sixteen years old. His dream was to be a TV broadcaster. He'd written a book, appeared on TV, and was just getting started. He's about twenty or twenty-one years old now. He has a TV show, he's reported on local news, interviewed political candidates and more. I noticed with him that his parents also guided his path, supporting him. Over the years, I've rooted for his success and am so pleased to see where the Lord will lead him.
Both young people had child-like faith. So what do we mean by it?

You can't make decisions for others, but you can make sure they have your support. Intimate partner violence, a more inclusive term than domestic violence, is a form of abuse aimed at gaining power or control over another. It can include physical, sexual, and emotional, or financial abuse, or a combination of all the above. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately 1 in 4 women in the United States have experienced physical intimate partner violence. UN Women has referred to violence against women during COVID-19 as the "shadow pandemic" lurking in the background as healthcare systems are drained and shelters are at capacity. During a period when everyone is struggling to adjust to the rapid changes due to COVID-19, it's critical that we learn more about intimate partner violence, its red flags, and how to support survivors. The Warning Signs of Abuse: withdrawing from others and making excuses not to see friends or family or do activities they once enjoyed; seeming anxious around their partner or afraid of their partner; having frequent bruises or infuries they lie about or can't explain; having limited access to money, credit cards or a car; showing an extreme change in personality; getting frequent calls from a significant other checking up on them; having a partner who has a temper, is easily jealous or very possessive; and clothing that could be hiding bruises, like long-sleeved shirts in the summer.

An atheist asked me once what would make me leave the Christian faith. The way that's worded indicates a set of values' suggesting Christianity is one of many sets of an adherence to a code of life. Religion is a man-made way of getting to God. The whole of them rest on a set of values and rules. Many people have erred in making Christianity a set of do's and don'ts.
So, really, the question the atheist asked is what would make me abandon God? A believer's' faith rests on the person of the resurrected Christ. If Jesus did not rise from the dead, as the apostle Paul said, we would be the most miserable of people. For we would still be seperated from God, still bound by sin, still condenmed. If Jesus Christ did not rise from the dead, if He were still in the tomb, then we have no hope or any chance of rescue.
Thanks be God that Christ is risen and lives forevermore. Through a living God, we are forgiven. We are encompassed by a love that will never grow dull. That will remain vibrant forever. It's the reason why the apostle Paul says in Romans 12:1 "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
Notice the word 'living'. We don't have to die--Christ did already. Not only did He die for our sins but He rose again. Because He lives, we have power over a sinful nature. We can fight against an enemy who seeks to destroy us.

A twenty-seven-year old prophecy. A song heard only in her dreams. Could they be declaring promises about her? About her freedom? Dare she put her trust in the One who is promising?
Judea, thirty years after the birth of Christ. A time when Rome ruled and women did not, especially if you were unlucky enough to be born an orphan. Life has dealt Zimrah only fear and disappointment. Sold into slavery before she was a week old, she has learned how to survive alone, at least during the day. At night she's alone with the Tormentors, angry, demonic forces that seek her destruction.
Then she hears it in her dreams, a Voice that that calls her the unimaginable: Daughter. It calls her to sing, calls her to hope in her freedom and the promise of unfailing Love. Night by night the Tormentors return until she dares to believe, dares to open her mouth and give her dream songs release. The result of her faith will lead her to so much more than she ever dreamed possible.
Her songs in the night attract the love of a handsome Roman officer. His promise of love echoes the Father's, but can she overcome a lifetime of loneliness and despair, to welcome love and become the woman the prophecy declares...to become the Dream Singer?

Where do we come from? Does it matter if we are random chance or if we are created? Does it have to be God that created everything or should we search the cosmos for our alien-god creators?
Origin discussions speak directly to a hidden space in us longing for exploration. If we are the result of random chance, ultimately, we don't owe loyalty or obedience to anyone or anything but ourselves. If we were created, we have to acknowledged we were created for...something. When these ideas are explored in speculative fiction the origins of humanity lie in the realms of random chance via evolutionary processes, or, alien-god creators who were experimenting and tripped over their feet, and boom! humanity.
Within the body of Christ, there's a deep need to ensure our faith in our God as our just, holy, and righteous Creator matches with our undestanding of the world around us. Is it logical to believe that God created everything?
Listen in the discussion as I chat with Dr. Rob Carter from Creation Ministries International on Saturday, March 27th at 2 pm Eastern time. Dr Carter was converted to Christ at an early age, but did not know what to do with the theory of evolution. In his freshman year of college, he was exposed to the information for creation for the first time and soon after adopted it as his modus operandi.
He obtained a BS in Applied Biology from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 1992. He then spent four years teaching high school biology, chemistry, physics and electronics before going to the University of Miami to obtain his PhD in Marine Biology. He is currently a senior scientist and speaker for CMI-USA in Atlanta, Georgia.

There are special ways to keep your weapon safe from others especially young children. The first rule is to keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction (never point your gun at anything you don't intend to shoot); 2) your firearm should be unloaded when not actually in use (firearms should only be loaded when you are ready to shoot); 3) Don't rely on your gun's safety (treat it as though it can fire at any time); 4) No one can call a shot back. Once a gun fires, you have given up all control over where the shot will go or what it will strike. Before you pull the trigger be absolutely certain of your target and where your shot will stop); 5) Use correct ammunition. Using improper or incorrect ammunition can destroy a gun and cause serious injury); 6) If your gun fails to fire when the trigger is pulled, HANDLE WITH CARE! Carefully unload the firearm and dispose of the cartridge in a safe way); 7) Always wear eye and ear protection when shooting; 8) Be sure the barrel is clear of obstructions before shooting. Even a small bit of mud, snow, excess lubricating oil or grease in the gun can cause pressure which causes the barrel to bulge or even burst on firing); 9) Don't alter or modify your gun. Any change can make the gun dangerous and will void any warranties); 10) Learn the characteristics of your firearm for loading, unloading, carrying the weapon and the rules of safe gun handling in general.

Have you ever wondered if God was really in control, if He was aware of what’s happening in your life, or if He even cared? Three Prayers for Jacob answers those deep theological questions with gunshots and car chases.
Have you ever been mad enough at God to call Him an idiot? Detective Jacob Burton does exactly that. He's angry at God because he is suffering through what he feels is a senseless family tragedy. Most people would hold back and not be completely honest with God about such feelings. How will God react to such raw honesty?
Jacob thinks God got something very wrong in his life. What would Jacob have done differently? What would life be like if things had gone his way? It’s too bad Jacob can never know. Or can he?

The shooter was supposedly tortured by his addiction to sex and had gone to massage parlors for sex.
One police spokeman said the accused shooter was having a bad day.

Ancestry helps you understand your genealogy. Many ancestry tests take you back generations and allows you to trace your family back much farther than traditional genealogy records. You can go in much deeper detail about your family with some tests. You may be able to find out where your family came from and in some situations you can even find out when your family arrived in certain locations.
While the main draw is ancestry, you can also use DNA testing to uncover important health information and learn about what traits you inherited from your parents and you might discover relatives you didn't know you had.
In purchasing a test: buy from a company that protects your data; find a test that reveals when and where your ancestors appeared; and last but not least, follow the science and the genetic experts.

This letter is said to have been delivered by Willie Lynch on the bank of the James River in the colony of Virginia. He was a British slave owner in the West Indies and was invited to the colony to teach his methods to slave owners there.
He was supposedly asked about his full-proof method of keeping his slaves in line. Altho, this letter over time has been said not to be true and that it does not exist,
Who really knows whether this letter was written by a man named Willie Lynch for the purpose of keeping slaves in line or did he watch them work and learned to read with accuracy their state of mind?
When it comes to how our culture should address the issue of Race in America, the voice of God is deafeningly silent. Public dialogue continues without much or decisive input from the contemporary Christian community. In fact, the Body of Jesus Christ in America as a whole, is pretty much divided along racial lines. This is clearly reflected in the split within the contemporary church along political party lines and social policies. To be sure, there is preaching about how we ought to, or how we want to treat one another as children of God. Each voice declares that they are on the right side of history or the right side of the political spectrum; but what about being on the right side of God?

Identity theft cases have risen steadily each year. For 2018, according to the FTC, there were 444,344 reported cases. In 2019, that number rose to 650,523. In 2020, that number soared to 1,387,615.
Victims of identity theft discuss how violated they feel. Also, they talk about how identity theft may have affected their livelihood or affected their character as some have had to deal with criminal charges, arrest, and court proceedings for something they did not commit. The victims of identity theft are often left holding the bag because the companies that fraudulent activity has been perpetrated against find it easier to go after the victim and not the guilty party. Sometimes, thousands of dollars and years of activity are spent in trying to clear one's name from the bad stain identity theft.
The worst part is that perpetrator of identity theft does not care about what they are doing to others. In fact, victims are not people to them, but pieces of data used to bring about their own ends -- whether to get money, material items, etc. They don't care and will not care, and nothing will change that fact. They often get away scot-free because it's hard to trace the activity to them.
If all that can happen in our everyday lives, how much more does spiritual identity theft affect our souls? What does it mean? How can we protect ourselves from it?

If you are under-prepared, a single mistake can derail your success in an instant. Being prepared can make the difference between your plans ending in failure or succeeding despite a bump in the road.
One of the first important points to investigate for potential problems is your environment. Know where you live and what your area is prone to; know the seasons and always have a plan in place ahead of time. Create a plan for each situation, One thing you can do is have 3 weeks of food and toilet paper around in case you can't get out of the house. You'll probably do things differently in a wildfire than in a flood or a snowstorm, but if your car breaks down, make sure you have a charged-up phone to call for help.
Also, be friends with your neighbors. You never know when you might need them in case of a disaster. They may have to let someone know that you are missing so they can look for you.
For every unexpected event, we can be ready for it, although it will probaly feel unimportant during times when life is going smoothly, but when trouble hits, you'll be better set up to get through the difficulty and more likely to overcome it if you remember that GOD is ALWAYS in CONTROL!

The lawsuit from Democratic Rep. Bennie Thompson is part of an expected wave of litigation over the Jan. 6 riot and is believed to be the first filed by a member of Congress. It seeks unspecified punitive and compensatory damages. It also names as defendants Rudy Giuliani, Trump's personal lawyer, and the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers extremist organizations that have had members charged by the Justice Department with taking part in the siege. Mr.Thompson said he was prevented from doing his job because of the insurrection.
A Trump senior adviser, Jason Miller, said in a statement that "Trump did not organize the rally that preceded the riot and he did not incite or conspire to incite any violence at the Capitol."
Liam is as famous and reckless as they come. His fame and fortune have come from his wild adventures all around the world, which he films for his YouTube channel. Never before has his life ever been in danger, or has he ever gotten hurt.
Until now.
His best friend, Julia, wants to be there for him, but sitting on the sidelines isn’t what Liam does best. Especially with his numbers and subscribers dropping since he can’t do much. To help him, Julia takes Liam and a bunch of their friends on a vacation to Hawaii, but all that does is make Liam’s inner adrenaline junkie want more.
The last thing either of them expect is a volcanic eruption to happen—let alone the worst one in Hawaii’s history. But after a massive earthquake split California, the surface of the earth is on the move, and Liam and Julia are standing right in the path of destruction.
Especially when Liam and his friends decide to climb the Volcano to have a look—right before it blows.

I, the Lord God, will put breath in you, and once again you will live.~ Ezekiel 37:5
Sassy air hostess Isoken Adolo has one rule - six-date maximum before she's on to the next. Loss and grief made her that way.
When life hands her an unexpected gut punch, Isoken is forced to face demons her fast-paced life helped her ignore. As she grapples with the latest turn of events, she decides to have the one thing she's always longed for- a baby. But this time without the entanglement of love.
Opinionated bad boy of the Formula One racing circuit, Tekena Tamuno, also has one rule- his career and relationships don’t mix. Experience made him that way.
With retirement approaching in a couple of years, Tekena’s laser focus is on two things- finishing at the top of his game and securing a future for life after the track. In his quest, he didn’t anticipate dealing with the woman who challenged him like no other.
From the moment Isoken met Tekena, she knew she had to avoid him at all cost. The intense attraction between them and his ability to irk all her nerves was reason enough. Her greatest fear, however, was his career. Now by some cruel twist of fate, he stands in the way of her heart's desire. With nowhere to run, her resolve is put to the test. And despite her fight, Tekena confirms her fear.
He could unravel her completely.
Is she courageous enough to risk another round with an emotion that brought her to her knees the first time?

Forsaking all others...
It's a vow said during the marriage ceremony, meaning that you and I are going to be monogamous with each other till death do us part.
When a spouse commits adultery, it goes against the God-ordained sanctity of marriage. It can rip families apart in more ways than one. It causes emotional trauma that can be difficult to heal.
What if both spouses committed adultery? Can a marriage heal from that or is it irreparable?

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Friday released guidelines for schools that focus on five key Covid-19 mitigation strategies: 1) the universal and correct wearing of masks; 2) physical distancing; 3) washing your hands; 4) cleaning facilities and improving ventilation, and 5) contact tracing, isolation and quarantine.
Vaccines and testing are not among the "key" strategies the agency lays out, calling them "additional layers" of Covid-19 prevention.
But the new recommendations come amid a national debate about when and how to reopen schools, even as fear of spreading the coronavirus continues and a push to prioritize teachers for vaccinations grows.
Contct tracing: measure the impact to your employees should someone be impacted by Covid-19.

The movie Platoon has one of the best cinematic scenes of all time. Playing out to the haunting tunes of Adagio for Strings. While being extracted by a helicopter, the platoon members see one of their own has been left behind. He has been betrayed, wounded by his own, and is being pursued by the enemy. Some watch helplessly as he's killed, falling to the ground, riddled by bullets. The camera cuts to him, his arms lifted into the air as he falls to his knees. Almost as if in his last moments, he's still pleading for rescue before he falls down dead.
As I think about today's show, I can't help but make this point: spiritual warfare is real. Who can remember that song that says, "We are soldiers. In the army. We have to fight, although we have to die. We have to hold up the blood-stained banner. We have to hold it up until we die."
The battle for our souls has been going on for millennia. Believers past and present have all been a part of it. We are attacked from all sides, knocked down, and even brought down. Sometimes the weapons are blatantly obvious. Other times, they are subtle. The war rages on.
Have we forgotten that? The Enemy hasn't forgotten, but perhaps I did. Perhaps you did. Today's show is a rousing call for remembering that the war rages on. How can we stop ourselves from being distracted from this truth? What do we do when we are in the Enemy's sights, his weapon aimed at us? What if we've sat on the sidelines, letting others take our place?

A man who stormed the U.S. Capitol while sporting face paint, no shirt and a furry hat with horns was moved to a jail in Virginia on Thursday after a federal judge ordered authorities to provide him with organic food while he's in custody.
Jacob Chansley was transferred to the Alexandria Detention Center after his attorney argued that his client had gone nine days without eating because organic food wasn't served at the jail in Washington. A judge ordered corrections officials to provide the special diet. He says he has lost 20 lbs. since being incarcerated,
He told the prison chaplain according to a court filing, that he had been eating organic food for about eight years and that it was central to his religious beliefs and "if I have to go a week without food or longer then so be it." He also said he would stay committed to his spiritual/religious beliefs even if it means he suffers physically.
Masterminded by the ton's most clever countess, the secret society The Widow’s Grace helps ill-treated widows regain their reputations, their families, and even find true love again—or perhaps for the very first time . . .
Surviving a shipwreck en route to London from Jamaica was just the start of Jemina St. Maur's nightmare. Suffering from amnesia, she was separated from anyone who might know her, and imprisoned in Bedlam. She was freed only because barrister Daniel Thackery, Lord Ashbrook, was convinced to betray the one thing he holds dear: the law. Desperate to unearth her true identity, Jemina’s only chance is to purloin dangerous secrets with help from The Widow’s Grace—which means staying steps ahead of the formidable Daniel, no matter how strongly she is drawn to him . . .
Married only by proxy, now widowed by shipwreck, Daniel is determined to protect his little stepdaughter, Hope, from his family’s scandalous reputation. That’s why he has dedicated himself not just to the law, but to remaining as proper, upstanding—and boring—as can be. But the closer he becomes to the mysterious, alluring Jemina, the more Daniel is tempted to break the very rule of law to which he's deevoted his life. And as ruthless adversaries close in, will the truth require him, and Jemina, to sacrifice their one chance at happiness?

Do you feel overwhelmed at the thought of losing weight? Have you wished that you could find a diet and exercise program that would work for you?
Have you ever imagined not as much of yourself?
Nathan and Tammy Whisnant were once there themselves-overweight, exhausted, and unable to enjoy their grandchildren.

Chair Liz Cheney, the third-ranking Republican in the House, is facing pressure from some members of the conference following her vote to impeach now-former President Donald Trump earlier this month for incitement of insurrection. Though it was the most bipartisan impeachment of a President ever, there were still only a handful of Republicans who voted across party lines with Democrats for impeachment. Cheney was the member with the highest name recognition and it has earned her the ire of some Trump faithfuls, who are now circulating a petition and calling for the Wyoming lawmaker to resign from her spot in leadership.
There's a petition circulating calling for the Wyoming lawmaker to resign from her spot in leadership.

REBROADCAST
On this special episode of Write Stuff, I do something I've never done before: a top ten list.
I hemmed and hawed over this idea for a while. After all, I've enjoyed every book I've highlighted on Write Stuff. I've made friends with some wonderful authors. I've had the pleasure of following their careers as they've grown into their purpose as authors. So, how it is possible that to take all these lovely books and par them down to ten? It was difficult but we did it.

"Why?"
This is a question kids ask all the time. For those of us who have children, it may be easy to tell them, 'Because I said so." or "Not now." or give some pat answers. 'Why' questions that children are opportunities for communication, for teaching, and for connecting. This was something my guest today wanted to do. In her own words: I wanted to create a tool that would help me encourage my kids to ask their questions because I want them to know that they matter to me, and their questions matter too. That's why I created the My Why Journal.
My Why Journal is not only the key to opening the door of communication and building strong relationships with our children, but a beautiful keepsake to treasure for a lifetime. In the business of life, we often find ourselves giving our children short answers to the many questions that they ask us. Sometimes, if the questions are too difficult or the timing isn’t right, we shut them down completely. But that doesn’t make the question go away. These questions they ask and the answers they receive to even the smallest inquiries are building blocks to the foundation of learning and moreso, to having great relationships with our children, even as they get older.
Parents, the days are long, the questions are tedious, but the years are short and our answers matter!
Join me as I chat with author, podcaster, and mom Bethany Adkins as we talk about kids, questions, and our relationships with them on Saturday, June 23rd, at 2 pm Eastern time.

This is the story of a veteran policeman asking a rookie policeman what he thinks, after listening to the veteran's story, whether he was a good cop or did the rookie think he was a bad cop.
Police executives today agree that public support is important both for the legitimacy of the police and the ability of the policemen to be able to fight crime effectively. While research shows people generally support the police and are satisfied with the way police perform their duties, it also demonstrates that not all segments of society hold equally positive opinions. And after giving him several scenarios, the question was still, "Was I a good cop or a bad cop?" The young rookie was asked if the media's portrayal of the police an important determinant of public opinion of the police? They both agreed that the quality of police-public interactions may be more effective, at least, in the absence of major scandals.
August St. Clair is still in high school as the book’s numbing opening sets the scene; chased by a possible rapist at her high school graduation party at the beach, she leaps off a cliff, crashing into the icy ocean never to be heard from again. Clay Moorehouse, her boyfriend, spends the next ten years in prison for her murder. When a young woman shows up in town claiming to be August, it sets in motion a cascading series of events forcing the townspeople to question what lengths they will go to make sure that the truth is never revealed. When a long-buried secret suddenly resurfaces, it threatens to turn the lives of everyone involved inside out.

“Forest born! Ogre child! You’re nothing but a demon wild!”
Vasilisa has always been strong. She’s strong enough to break the arm of the bully that daily taunts her.

Instead Vasilisa bides her time until she is sixteen and can return to the forest.
Only Staver, the master’s son, shows her kindness. His friendship pulls as strong as the forest, but their classes are divided forever by law. She is a forest born, fatherless servant and her future at the manor holds mockery filled drudgery.
War threatens. The forest calls. Will she stay to protect the one who can never be more than a friend, or flee to the peace that the forest offers?

Are you the type to make New Year Resolutions? "This year, I'm going to do more this or that." "This year, I'm going to lose this or that." "This year, I will do this or that."
No matter what it is you plan to do this year, most New Year's resolutions fizzle before the end of the month of the New Year. Lets face it: most of us have stopped making New Year's resolutios because it's impossible for us to keep focused on the goal.
This isn't to say that goal setting is wrong -- far from it! We are meant to succeed in all areas of life -- but we can't do it on our own.
So on this episode of the Parker J Cole show, we're telling to do something -- get rid of your New Year's resolution, and seek God more.
Seeking God instead of a resolution puts us in His plans, not ours. It keep us focused on His will, not our hopes. And there's more when we seek God.

Take a step back in time to Door County in the 1800s, a time when lighthouse keepers couldn't give up, or lives would be lost. A time when storms on the lakes were as dangerous as the storms in their souls. A time when the people of the islands had to be strong and courageous. A time for Lainey of the Door Islands to become the woman God wants her to be.
For Lainey, life on tiny Pilot Island is more trouble than it's worth. Auntie Edith is always fussing at her and making her do chores, and Uncle Otis spends a lot of time manning the lighthouse. Each day, Lainey stares out at the Great Lakes, praying this will be the day that brings her parents home to her from their travels. Will she ever come to love the islands and their treacherous waters, which seem to only bring a lot of shipwrecks and heartache to the people who live on the islands? Will she ever be able to go home?

Should writers invest creative effort in writing a series? It's a question that has a nuanced answer to it. It's not simply 'yes' or 'no' and then hurry up and write twelve books. It requires a thoughtful plan, process, and other considerations.
When I first started writing, I preferred to write standalone books. More and more, I find that series writing lends is own rewards and opportunities to succeed. What are the best ways to approach a series? How do you begin one? Do you work by yourself or with other authors? What about marketing? Is a series the same as a serial?

A large group of President Trump's supporters stormed the Capitol Building on January 6, 2021. They scaled the walls with ropes, broke windows and broke the doors. When inside they trashed the building. They went into offices, sat down in the chairs and put their feet on the desks.They stole laptops and papers off the desks. They killed a policeman with a fire extinguisher and a 14-yr. veteran of the Air Force was shot by an officer.
They chased an unarmed officer up the stairs, stood on the statues and took pictures, carried the Confederate flag through the bldg. and replaced the American flag with a Trump flag. They also brought zip ties into the building.
Freedom Speakz and her friends have a fun filled day in the park, as she recounts the story of how her infamous "Generations" speech came to be.

Captain David Alexander commands an Explorer Class Starship known as the SS Evangeline. Their Commonwealth assigned mission is to locate and identify a new enemy encroaching on Commonwealth territory before it’s too late. Their new enemy has unidentifiable technology that turns people against their own government. No methods of persuasion have proven effective in restoring the enemy conscripts. The Supreme Executor of the Commonwealth, Luciano Hale, has authorized extreme sanctions. He wants the Liontari forces stopped, at all costs.
The Captain and crew are new to the mission, new to their jobs and new to each other. Most have been married for only a few months. Tensions are high as the crew spends the first three weeks aboard ship traveling to a distant corner of the galaxy to begin their mission. David knows first contact missions are risky and the discovery of such a powerful enemy increases the danger exponentially, at least that’s what he’s been told. The real experience proves to be quite unsettling. The crew faces primitive natives with superstitious beliefs, crude dangerous lifestyles, assaults, tests of skill and honor, violent weather and their own mortality. Can they survive such overwhelming odds?

Avoiding pre-trial incarceration is challenging for women possibly because they have lower incomes than incarcerated men and have a harder time affording bail.
Jails make it harder to stay in touch with their families than prisons do. Jail phone calls cost three times more than calls from prison, and other forms of communication are more restricted. Some jails don't even allow real letters, limiting mail to postcards.
Eighty percent of women in jails are mothers, and most of them are primary caretakers of their children.
Women in jails are also more likely to suffer from mental health problems and experience serious psychological distress than men in either correctional setting.
On New Year’s Eve 2021 a Jane Doe has been stabbed multiple times and as the staff struggle to keep the woman alive in the end all they can do is stand back and watch as their mysterious patient revives herself.

Joseph, a master craftsman and carpenter, stokes the ire of his family when he weds his pregnant (and seemingly unfaithful) betrothed, Mary. Pious, devout, and guided by the dictates of Heaven, Joseph has no issue with taking Mary – who still claims to be a virgin – as his wife and committing himself to the protection of her child, whom he senses is extraordinary.
However, there are others who are also aware of how special the child is, and not all have its best interests at heart. Among these is the despot Herod, whose oppressive rule and wanton cruelty are legendary. Deeply troubled by a prophecy concerning a King to Come, the tyrant is committed to finding – and eliminating – this threat to his reign. In addition, there are forces beyond the ken of men that also recognize the singular nature of Mary’s child, and which are determined to keep the salvation that the babe represents out of mankind’s reach.
All of these factions converge on Mary and Joseph as they trek from Nazareth to Bethlehem.

Along with the social and political upheaval of 2020, various reports and articles have arisen about aliens. That's right, we've got aliens to contend with. Most of us were shocked to see the monoliths appearing for a while, giving us a glimpse into 2001: A Space Odyssey. The idea of alien and alien lifeforms is a topic that is extremely divisive in the normal sense. Among believers of the faith, even more so. How does the idea of aliens impact Christian theology? Do we completely ignore it because the bible says nothing about it? Or, does it? What are some considerations we need to take into account?

Diabetic retinopathy is caused by changes in the blood vessels of the retina and can result in blindness. Everyone who has diabetes is at risk. In the early states, it isn't painful, nor are there necessarily symptoms. So it is important that people with diabetes have an eye exam at least once a year.
Diabetes Mellitus,Type 1 is usually diagnosed in children and young adults, your pancreas does not produce enough insulin, which is necessary to break down glucose in food. Frequent thirst, hunger and urination are symptoms. There is no cure for diabetes, but working closely with your doctor to monitor blood sugar levels, eating a proper diet and getting regular exercise can help you maintain good health.
Diabetes Mellitus,Type 2 diabetes, the most common form of the condition, the body either resists insulin or does not produce enough of it. Being overweight, eating a poor diet and getting little physical activity increases your risk.

In the face od nearly seven million infections and 200,000 death, many Americans refuse to wear masks because they don't feel the coronavirus is real. Even some of those who believe the virus exists are not concerned about getting sick.
Even among those who consider COVID-19 a real concern, there is an uneasiness around the most promising solution to the pandemic which is a vaccine. In an AP-NORC poll in mid May, fewer than 50% of Americans surveyed said they would commit to getting a coronavirus vaccine whenever it becomes available.
Even though vaccines have virtually eliminated the risk of many preventable diseases, there has been an increase in refusal and hesitancy over the past two decades. Typically vaccine refusal is most prevalent in wealthy, white areas, but polls that seek to understand the pending coronavirus vaccine indicate high levels of hesitancy and refusal among marginalized communities too. These groups appear to be the most skeptical with only a quarter of Black respondents and 37% of Hispanic respondents who said they would take the vaccine whenever it was available.

Have you ever wondered how evil began? Or why God gave angels the free will to reject Him? This prequel to the Angelic Wars series, Into the Mind of Lucifer, is a small window into Rick E. Norris's creation of interactive musical novels where characters sing when the reader activates a link. Into the Mind of Lucifer is the fantasy background story of why Lucifer rebelled against God. This prequel is the start of the epic story of the internal struggles and external battles among the angels for the control of Heaven. This introduction, like the series, is unlike any other action-adventure fantasy because its setting is mostly in Heaven and guided by footnoted Biblical passages. Though the story is a fantasy, the author uses the Bible as a guide for some of the settings, characters and dialogue.
Lucifer, the most revered of all angels in Heaven, is sent on the first mission to earth—to serve God's pinnacle of creation, humankind. He is the first angel to travel into the material world and the first to realize that God has been “holding back” against his angels—the power of a free will. While on earth, Lucifer is frustrated while waiting for this pinnacle of creation to materialize. His frustration boils into rage as he learns that not only can he use his free will to control his destiny, but he can also use it to alter God's creations. This prequel sets the stage for Lucifer's journey back to Heaven where he raises an army against God and his Kingdom.

Before leaving the house or apartment, keep strangers out by locking all of the doors and closing windows. Activate your security system on the way out of the door to scare off potential intruders. Before leaving, even for a few minutes, lock your front door and close the garage. If you go out at night, leave one or two lights on to deter burglars from entering your house. When leaving on extended trips and vacations, have someone get your mail alnd newspapers and set your outside lights on a timer to turn on at night. Tips for everyday life ensure you are prepared for the worst situations before they occur.
We deal with crowds on a daily basis, whether it is on our way to work or at a baseball game on the weekend. Protect yourself from those around you and familiarize yourself with the surrounding area. Place your wallet in your front pocket, if possible, and keep purses snug and zipped up. Avoid swinging them over your shoulder and use the ones that fasten shut. Keep your cell phone attached to your body.

What is one of the number fears most people experience? The fear of failure. This is the second book in a series focusing on failure, which is designed to accompany my initial book on failure; Failure Is Not The Problem, It’s The Beginning Of Your Success. I specifically wrote this workbook to help ease the pain of reading about failure. This workbook is intended as a read along with my initial book. The topic of failure is not a subject people tend to embrace without some coaching. Therefore, use the workbook as a personal guide to challenge you as you embark on what may be unfamiliar territory. George Milton has written a workbook which includes a 12 Step program structured on how to change your mindset regarding “FAILURE” From Negative to Positive. Following these steps, if obeyed with consistency can propel you to move from where you are to where you are meant to be.

Attorney Giuliani said there was an allegation from a poll worker in Detroit who claims to have witnessed other poll workers attempting to influence voters. He said "I know crimes, I can smell them. You don't have to smell this one, I can prove it to you 18 different ways. I can prove to you that he won Pennsylvania by 300,000 votes.
Republican lawmakers on Capitol Hill have defended Trump's right to have his day in court, but they have stopped short of endorsing his claims of widespread fraud and say the president needs to back up the explosive allegations with evidence.
Another person who wants the votes recounted is John James, here in Detroit. He lost to incumbent Senator Gary Peters.
It started as a story…
…but a mysterious little girl changed everything.
Now, a dragon has come to East Texas and they need a hero.

A young boy, a princess, a talking sword and an evil dragon captivate snaggled-tooth munchkins...
Then the old man starts to feel it.
Something has risen from his past and its coming for him and the people he loves.

Decades after persecution and loss drove him into hiding, one old preacher has received a vision from God—in one week, his city will be destroyed. Walter Barnes abandoned his pulpit long ago and has watched as the church he loved faded into silence, giving an increasingly violent world over to its own devices. Now judgment is coming, but like Abraham, Walter has made a wager with God. If he can change the heart of the city, then mercy will have its day. His journey will lead him from the broken streets to the steel citadels of a city that has forgotten him and his faith, forcing him to confront the choices that have haunted him for years. And the clock is ticking.

Biden won the election, but Donald Trump hasn't accepted the fact that he lost. He has given false information to courts in order for them to count this election as null and void and to do a recount. Eventhough, all states say that even if the ballots are counted again, there isn't enough votes for him to win. Federal election infrastucture officials said in a joint statement on Thursday that the 2020 election was the most secure in American history. Meanwhile, President-elect Biden picked up 11 more Electoral College votes as CBS News projected he had won Arizona, giving him a 73 vote margin over President Trump and putting him well over the 270 threshold with a total of 290 votes.
President Trump continues to spread baseless claims of widespread voter fraud in key battleground states. Mr. Trump has still not conceded, and advisers confirmed to CBS News that he has openly discussed running for president again in 2024.
Biden now has 306 Electoral College votes and Trump has 232.
Chaos Can’t Ultimately Win. But With God…You Can.
The hopeful yet defiant message of Chaos Can’t is that it's possible to remain unshaken in this world of chaos. But you won’t find the answers on the nightly news or social media. They report chaos, stir fear, and take sides…but have no clue for a cure. Because they’re looking in the wrong places. This quest offers a refreshingly different approach. Rather than focus on current events, we’ll take a mythic yet practical journey that starts before time began. To experience God as Creator. To expose an ancient enemy who uses chaos as a weapon. And to understand why our dreams, hopes, and hearts are under attack.
What is chaos? How does God approach it? And can we overcome it? Through this book, you will discover:• why chaos hits in such personal ways;• how to not let the swirling outside chaos…within;• the possible origin of chaos;• how to counter fear with love; • why your creativity matters more than you imagine; and• 11 ways to restore your dreams and renew your surroundings.
God continuously fills the empty, void places in our world—and in us—with light, hope, beauty, and order. Which is what our souls need most in these chaotic times. This is your invitation to join the Creator…and to be astonished.

REBROADCAST: THE BEST OF THE PARKER J COLE SHOW
I honestly believe that no one gets married with the intention to get a divorce. Most of us take our vows seriously. To have and to hold. In sickness and in health. Till Death do us part. In the confines of marriage, there's a lot we learn about God through learning about how we are supposed to love each other. In the past, Christendom has been divided on the issue about divorce. Some believe that divorce is never an option. Others believe it is in certain circumstances. There are those who say there are only special circumstances that God will ALLOW divorce. Others says not.
Whether or not we agree about divorce, the bible is very clear -- God hates divorce. No ifs, ands, or buts, about it. So where does that leave the believer, who for one reason or another have gone the route of divorce? Hopefully in the confines of marriage, we learn about God's love, patience, long-suffering, devotion, etc. However, I submit that we can learn about God through divorce.

Homes for Black Children is a nationally recognized organization created in 1969 to overturn the myth that Black families do not adopt - and to give African American children adoption opportunities that others said were not available.
In its first year of operation, HBC placed more Black children in adoptive homes than the other 13 Detroit-area adoption agencies combined!
The HBC staff soon realized that inorder to have successful adoptions and successful families, they needed to offer additional services in strengthening and preserving Black families through foster care, assistance for expectant parents, and family counseling.
The key to HBC's success is, according to both clients and colleagues, is the warm and personal approach that the staff takes to the people they serve.

Plunged immediately after their baptism into a fiery spiritual storm, Loren and Eve Montcrest face the vicious assaults of the Arcane Institute and their Harmony society as its leaders pull out all stops in the battle to win back or destroy their old disciples. At the same time, the couple must struggle with their sinful natures, their fallen world, and continual demonic deceptions and assaults.
God has placed them under the wise care of the head of the secret underground church, Alexander Renkin. Yet Alexander is in a precarious position himself as the nominal head of
the local KINDness Church, an arm of Harmony. Alexander wonders how much will they be willing to sacrifice and to suffer for their new faith when the deeper trials come.
When a mighty move of the Holy Spirit disrupts their pagan household, Loren and the now-pregnant Eve must abandon everything and flee to a secret sanctuary—a sanctuary they
quickly learn is not safe at all.

Chiefs of pollice are spending these last several weeks trying to figure out how to provide security at the polls amid the threat of armed troublemakers without scaring away the kind of voters who might be put off by the sight of uniformed policemen.
The 2020 election is taking place against a backdrop of extreme partisan rancor and social unrest, placing unprecedented strain on the police chiefs and sheriffs responsible for maintaining order at the polls.
The situation is compouded by the increasing threat of right-wing militia groups and a president who has called for an army of poll watchers to monitor contested election areas.
The Crossover Alliance began as an online community where a group of authors saw a vacuum in the Christian publishing industry - a complete lack of stories that contained Christ-centered themes with real-world content. A need was discovered, a gaping maw where secular and Christian publishers dare not tread for fear of crossing the boundary lines between secular and Christian fiction. The Crossover Alliance publishing company was birthed to cross this line, and we aim to disrupt the publishing industry with our unique mission. The Crossover Alliance is a unique publishing company specializing in Christian fiction that contains edgy, real-world content. We weren't satisfied with the 'rules' that many Christian publishing companies have tried to force Christian authors to adhere to - however well-intended these rules were, and so we set out to create a publishing company that both breaks many of these rules and also adheres to biblical principles. Our fiction is fearless, sometimes scary, sometimes raw and edgy. But there in the middle of it all you will find a light to help you find your way through it, you will more than likely find redemption within the darkness, and most importantly you will find fiction that is true to the story, not the rules.

Since President Trump refused to debate Vice President Biden because he didn't want anything between them, it was decided that they each would do a town hall on different channels at different times.
Vice President Biden was calm, cool, and strikingly effective evening of dialogue. In fact, Biden's primary message was that he would lead because it is the presidential responsibility to lead.

This month, I am showcasing authors who write dark fiction from a Christian worldview. They write in stepchild genres such as paranormal, horror, or thriller categories. Why? While some mainstream Christian readers may frown upon this, but I submit that these genres have a wonderful capacity of showing the human condition. In a horror story, it's often about survival and damage control. Hard decisions are made to determine if help is the order of the day or if survival is. In monster stories, we come across an external enemy set on devouring us or destroying us. How do we fight against an adversary greater in strength than we are? In alien stories, often the scenario deals with a malevolent force seeking to invade and occupy the Earth. Can human ingenuity outwit these technologically advanced beings?
Of note, demonic activity is often parodied and made light of, but these authors I highlight know the reality of demonic influence and activity. They understand that without the power of the Most High, one cannot fight these things.
All in all, dark fiction is a genre that is compatible to Christian storytelling in a lot of ways. In this episode, author and publisher Jess Hanna and I discuss these things and more through the vehicle of pop culture, well-loved movies and scenarios and give a nod to edgy Christian publisher The Crossover Alliance on Wednesday, October 14th at 7 pm Eastern.

The Onchei are back. And trouble looms...
The Onchei want to learn what happened to their brethren on Algoran from the only survivor, Zeetra. Yet they learn instead she has broken the Onchei’s highest law: never intermarry or have children with another race. For this, she now faces execution.
Jordan SnowFire fears the Onchei will blame the Mokta and seek retribution soon. Only an ancient heirloom, which contains the ultimate Onchei knowledge, can save the Mokta...except it's on Earth, a world she hasn't seen in decades.
Jordan sends her son, Arrow, and her friend's daughter, Maska, to rescue Zeetra while she travels back to Earth to seek the Onchei artifact. What tie is there between a thousand-year-old object and Jordan's ancestors? Could this explain why she and her mother were originally abducted and brought to Algoran?
In the skies of Algoran, a final confrontation looms between the Onchei and the Mokta. And on Earth, Jordan finds more than she could have possibly imagined...

Talks around mental illness have become more commonplace in today's world. Over time, it is slowly becoming less of a stigma and more of an acceptable topic to have discussion. This drastic change is due to several reasons, but it also gives the Church an opportunity to access those who may have mental illness. Yet, there are those who still feel as if admitting you have a mental illness is showing a lack of faith or some other misconception
How can the church address those among us and outside of us who deal with mental illness? What are some steps a church can take to become more educated? What about us who are mentally ill -- are we still able to serve the kingdom? These and many more questions are going to relate to our topic today as I chat with my returning guest co-host and contributor, Malinda Fugate.

Some schoolls are planning to reopen for in-person learning this fall. But parents and caregivers are wondering whether it's safe to send their kids to school during the coronavirus (covid-19) pandemic.
Parents have many things to consider -- their needs around work, education, and childcare; the benefits of in-school learning; and their family's health and safety. Younger children and kids with special needs learn best in school. Middle school and high school students might be better able to handle distance learning.
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and other health groups say that getting kids back in school is best for their physical, mental, social and emotional lhealth. It's also how kids learn best.
For as long as Eric Davis can remember, the name of that distinct carpenter from the bible (“that J name”) has caused him to have severe panic attacks. Living on a religion free road with his wife, Brooke, and his two children, Fiona and Mitchell, avoidance has done the trick. But things change, as they tend to do. On the day his wife comes home from church (wait, church?) to deliver her life changing news, Eric is given a peek behind the curtain for his aversion. Dark stairs leading down into a far darker place, long shadows reaching up the walls, reaching for him.
In a last effort to save his marriage and his sanity, he seeks answers to his aversion. The more he discovers about the why, the more he wishes he could close the curtain for good. But he’s already gone too far. To stop now would leave him worse off than before. What waits at the end of his journey is darkness unimaginable and a past that was better buried in the deepest parts of his mind.

In a post-truth world, morality is often seen as something that is subjective and based off one's one interpretation of it. Simply put, "Can I have morality without God?"
An alternative godless morality has been proposed by atheist apologists to combat the theistic view of morality also known as human flourishing. Is that the case? In this first of several apologetic based episodes, we'll tackle morality with my guest co-host and contributor, former atheist Tim Bankes, author and apologist.

President Donald Trump and former vice president Joe Biden squared off this week in a debate that was hectic, halting, and bitter.
Many topics were on the table, from how to fill a vacancy on the U.S. Supreme Court to COVID-19 to the economy, but few of these topics were talked about at length or in depth.
Polling finds that Americans believe Joe Biden significantly outperformed President Trump in the first presidential debate. Many still give both candidates essentially equal chances of winning the election, but faith in the outcome is an open question for about one in three Americans.
The life of Joen Bjarn’son had brought him to the point of unquenchable rage. He had withdrawn almost entirely within himself. Then he does something very stupid. He lashes out at the man responsible.
But Heglin Roark, Primate of the Ansélan Church for the Kingdom of Ferrelär strikes back with a vengeance. His plans to deal with Joen’s kind are basically genocidal. The Primate believes in the power of the church and its liturgy. The Known talk with the Lord directly, and he cannot control them. There are some personal things going on also, but the result is he’s increasingly using the Known as scapegoats. Joen’s campaign against him results in him moving his private war out into the open. Joen’s devastated by his guilt, insignificance, and isolation. He doesn’t Know the Lord.
Yet Lord Ansél has plans for him beyond his wildest imagination.

Once again, I turn to Marcia Montenegro as she continues to stand at the forefront, rightly diving the word of the truth with discernment, objectivity, and an intellectual pursuit to peel back the veil of those who talk 'Christian-ese' but are far from biblical Christianity.
The Perennial Gospel can be characterized by a mixture of Gnostic philosophy, and misappropriation of scripture. Specifically, it relates to 'actualizing Christ' within 'you'. Like Richard Rohr, who we discussed in depth on our last program about the Enneagram, perennialists hold that all religions share the same core truth but is accessed through mystical means. Thus, Christ is not God, but merely an aspect of God WITHIN you.
Is this what scripture teaches?

Seven reasons why insurance is important: 1) Lenders require that you have insurance before you buy or build a new building; 2) You need insurance for your business to keep going or you won't be able to get the funding to evolve and better compete; 3) Because it's the law; 4) Insurance grants peace of mind; 4) It ensures family and business stability; 5) Insurance protects the small guys; 5) When you look at your industry, you see the big guys will be able to survive. They can take a hit, but the little guys can't take a hit. As a result, they are more risk averse and in some cases, they sell out to the big guys. That insurance helps prevent monopolies from forming; 7) Insurance is the right thing to do, and provides a safety net for the owners.
In the twenty-first-century, Dr. George Adams sacrifices his house, company, and marriage to create artificial general intelligence, AGI. He creates AGI to solve the world’s problems: war, disease, climate change, inequality, and death. And The One solves all of these—for a price. The One’s solution will cost George—and every person in the world—that which is deemed most precious.
After The One brings heaven to earth, and answers everyone’s prayers, should it be stopped? How can anyone halt something that is everywhere at the same time? Is it possible to reason with an all-knowing sentient entity whose raison d’etre is to solve all of humanity’s problems, including the existence of the soul?

If you've worked hard to build a solid financial footing for you and your family, so you want to be sure that everything is protected. Accidents and disasters can and do happen, and if you aren't adequately insured, it could leave you in financial ruin. You need insurance to protect your life, your ability to earn income, and to keep a roof over your head. As you evaluate the potential gaps in your insurance coverage, consider which policies you may want to include your short-and long-term financial plan.
You can insure almost anything under the sun, but certain things need to be properly insured. This insurance need typically includes your life, your health, and your property.

In, If Masculinity Is ‘Toxic’, Call Jesus Radioactive, bestselling author Doug Giles offers a view of Jesus that CNN and the ladies on The View will probably not like. That said, Giles is a guessin’ that his take on the 30-year-old Rebel from Galilee will be a breath of fresh air to people who’re sick of postmodernism’s soft focused, politically correct, pale-skinned, wussy Jesus that the enemies of the cross are foisting upon the washed and unwashed masses. Drawing heavily off the Book of Matthew, Giles’s exposition of the overt masculine traits that Jesus exhibited, both in word and deed, will forever change how you see and hear The Son of Man.

Originally, I had planned this show to be about judgmental people -- until I saw an Newsweek article posted by a friend of mine entitled, "52 Percent of Americans Say Jesus Isn't God but Was a Great Teacher".
To say this disturbed me would be an understatement. However, even in this, it is nothing new. Two thousand years ago, people were questioning whether Jesus was God. It's like the great Christian writer C. S. Lewis said, "A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic — on the level with the man who says he is a poached egg — or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse."
The apostle Paul stated, "If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable." Why? Because "great teachers" cannot save souls. "Great teachers" are flawed, sinful, and imperfect -- something a "great teacher" would say. "Great teachers" are a dime a dozen.
The heritage of our Christian faith comes from the fact that Jesus was more than a great teacher -- He was and is and forever will be God. A great teacher cannot hear the cries of a world in the throes of depravity and say, "I will save you." A great teacher is NOT all knowing. Nor, is a great teacher all powerful or all seeing. There's so many things that a great teacher isn't that Jesus is.

Fatal police shootings in the United States seems to only be increasing with a total of 661 civilians having been shot and 123 of those people were Black, as of August 30, 2020.
Additionally, the rate of fatal police shootings among Black Americans was much higher than that for any other ethnicity.
The Black Lives Matter Movement, formed in 2013, has been a vocal part of the movement against police brutality in the U.S. by organizing the marches and demonstrations in response to the killings of black men and women by police.
While Black Lives Matter has become a controversial movement within the U. S., it has brought more attention to the number and frequency of police shootings of civilians.
A god asked Puah to kill. That went against her faith. Her own God asked her to walk away. That went against her calling.
Until she is ordered by Pharaoh to kill newborn Hebrew males, Puah thought she had an easy profession. If she obeys, it means the deaths of untold innocents. If she doesn't, it means her death.
As Pharaohs rise and fall, Puah’s people are forced into deeper oppression. Men are forced labor and women are sent to serve their Egyptian counterparts. Only Puah and her recently acquired guild are free. For now.
Moses, one of the hidden babies who was adopted by the Princess, is being groomed to take over. When he denies his right to rule and mistakenly kills an Egyptian, he is forced to flee into the desert. Forty years later, he returns as the instrument of God.
With her medical training and passion for helping pregnant women, Puah places herself in the heart of hell on earth as the intensity of plagues increases.
After the last plague falls, she must make the decision to stay in Egypt or face the unknown wilderness. Puah’s heart has always been for the women of Egypt. How can she obey God to walk away from them in their greatest hour of need? She can only make the choice once and morning won’t wait.

This journey that I am undertaking as a Christian writer is a work in progress. With this release of my second book I am continuing to be obedient to the Lord as much as possible. I will be the first to admit that I have found myself on many an occasion wondering why this was happening to me.That being said I am reminded of the fact that with each of us we can attest to the fact that God will in the end see his purpose and mission fulfilled in us. It will come to fruition in the time and season that He has decided. As well He will equip us with what it is that we need to be of service.

At the time of Sunday's violent encounter with police, Blake had a warrant out for his arrest in connection to a domestic abuse call earlier this year. A dispatcher appeared to warn responding officers to Blake's warrant, referring to "family trouble" at the residence in Kenosha and an alert at this address for a ninety-nine. The police code 10-99 can refer to a wanted suspect. It's unclear whether those officers knew about why there was an outstanding warrant against lake when they arrived at the residence. That warrant has been now vacated.
There have been nearly 50 arrests in Kenosha related to unrest in the city. The arrests were for a variety of charges, including curfew violations, weapons charges and drug possession.

A vaccine to prevent coronavirus disease 2019 is perhaps the best hope for ending the pandemic. Currently, there is no vaccine to prevent infection with the Covid-19 virus, but researchers are racing to create one.
Coronaviruses are a family of viruses that cause illnesses such as the common cold, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS). Covid-19 is caused by a virus that's closely related to the one that causes SARS. For this reason, scientists named the new virus SARS-CoV-2.
While vaccine development can take years, researchers aren't starting from scratch to develop a COVID-19 vaccine. Past research on SARS and MERS vaccines has identified potential approaches.

"For God so loved the world . . . "
Many of us could finish that sentence in our sleep. John 3:16 is a beautiful Scripture that neatly and simply sums up the message of the Gospel. But what do all the other 3:16s in the Bible have to tell us?
The words of the Bible weave a tapestry of love, particularly the love that our Heavenly Father has for His children. But a love so deep and so wide cannot be contained in one memorized phrase. It takes multiple authors of sixty-six individual books to begin to explore the mystery of God's care for us.
The Other Three Sixteens by Malinda Fugate examines each third chapter and sixteenth verse in the Bible and invites a fresh, new perspective to help readers uncover surprises or remind them of forgotten truths of a faith that has become routine.
Through Genesis to Revelation, we can soak in its depth, wonder at its intricacies, and be moved at how much the Lord truly does lavish upon us. Together, we discover God's love under the weight of Eve's sin in the garden. It's there in front of Moses, burning in a bush that is somehow not consumed. God's love sits in the dark with Job, rebuilds a wall with Nehemiah, and encourages a young pastor named Timothy. Together we will find a deeper understanding of the way our Heavenly Father cares for each of us today.

If you could go back in time, what year would you go back to, or what event would you repeat, or what age were you when you had the best time of your life?
Most of us participate in the same New Year's ritual by reflecting on our past and making a resolution to change to do something different. We always say that the new year will be better than the last one. But, how often does it really happen? It doesn't take a month before we've lost the incentive to do better. We say this new year will be better and that we aren't going to continue to repeat old habits, but after 30 days, we find ourselves right back where we were.
What do we do or can we do anything to change?

If you could go back in time, what year would you go back to, or what event would you repeat, or what age were you when you had the best time of your life?
Most of us participate in the same New Year's ritual by reflecting on our past and making a resolution to change to do something different. We always say that the new year will be better than the last one. But, how often does it really happen? It doesn't take a month before we've lost the incentive to do better. We say this new year will be better and that we aren't going to continue to repeat old habits, but after 30 days, we find ourselves right back where we were.
What do we do or can we do anything to change?

Who created more things God or mankind? Children need help thinking through all things in life. As parents, we teach them everything they know. I know I have a little one, I teach him everything he knows. So on the scale of the most important things for children to learn about, God is the top of that list.

According to statistics, there are 43.5 million caregivers have provided unpaid care to an adult or child in the last 12 months. The majority of caregivers (82%) care for one other adult, while 15% care for 2 adults, and 3% for 3 or more adults.
With those kind of statistics, it's hard not understand the need to address those of us who are caregivers. It's a stressful job as well as taxing on the person providing the care. There maybe certain fears and concerns a caregiver may have as it relates to their charge, as well as other issues they probably haven't even thought about.
With that in mind, join me as a chat with Debby Alten as she uses her experiences and thoughts to help bring some clarity to comforting and caring for caregivers.

A second protest is happening on the city's westside over Detroit schools holding in-person summer classes. Tuesday morning's protest comes as a local group claimed victory Monday - no bus leaving the terminal, which they spent most of the morning blocking with their bodies and then with large tree branches.
Seven action news crews even saw a couple of bus drivers say they were quitting. The district's superintendent is standing strong saying in person summer classes are needed for the families that requested it and that it can be done safely.
Protesters say it's too soon to send kids back to class that the public health risk isn't worth it.
Hidden in plain sight beneath the text of the Old Testament narrative is an ancient battle between the Heavenly Host and the Demonic Horde over the bloodline of Jesus. These spiritual forces have been at war since the Garden of Eden and every time God narrows down His focus on how He will redeem creation and whom will be used, those families come under direct attack. In both the Host and Horde strongholds, plans are created by Commanders and implemented by Operations Officers as the fall of man hangs in the balance as Lucifer plots to take control of the Earth. The battle on the ground to protect or destroy these men and women by Demonic Fists and Horde Bastions is equally matched in intensity and drama at the Headquarters of both armies as the struggle to figure out the Divine Plan presses relentlessly forward.

Sabotage: deliberately destroy, damage, or obstruct (something), especially for political or military advantage.
I closed out the window on my computer and sat there stunned. I had just finished listening to Dr. Mike Spaulding's podcast with my guest today, Dr. Judith Reisman. It only lasted an hour but my whole world shifted as I was made aware of a man who change the whole idea of sex and sexuality in the U. S. I hadn't even heard of the man until I listened to Dr. Spaulding's show. Had no idea that his far-reaching clutches would affect the following generations to the millenials and beyond.
It's a conviction of mine that we have no idea of the power of one person. A single person can change the whole of history.
To Andy Rooney and the Greatest Generation, sex was only a rumor. But to an Indiana University zoology professor, wholesome American youth were in fact promiscuous and adulterous. Alfred Kinsey's bias-masquerading-as-research became accepted wisdom, thus tainting generations of Americans. Now, in a comprehensive and investigative fashion, Judith Reisman traces not only the effects of Kinsey's diabolical research, but describes those early, falsely accused generations in very different terms, because she lived through those times. The combination of Reisman's exhaustive research and personal knowledge of the times in which Kinsey worked make this book a thoroughly engaging read, documenting a crucial societal shift.

The Supreme Court all but guaranteed that nearly 1 million Floridians will be unable to vote in the 2020 election because of unpaid court debts in a shattering order handed down on Thursday. Its decision will throw Florida's voter registration into chaos, placing a huge number of would-be voters in legal limbo and even opening them up to prosecution for casting a ballot. The justices have effectively permitted Florida Republicans to impose a poll tax in November.

Yoga has a strong allure for people. Touted with mental, physical, and emotional benefits, hundreds of people perform yoga. It's been given a lot of scientific and holistic prominence as the go to for traditional and alternative health practices.
However, yoga has nothing to with the body and everything to do connecting to the spiritual realm. The deceptive lure of yoga is that one thinks you can divorce the spiritual aspects and simply use it in only one capacity. Many Christians and non-Christians alike may think this is a safe way to utilize the practice but they don't understand the basic spirituality which is the core of what yoga is.

Four lives connected by one secret.
Elder Paige Morganson has not only survived an abusive childhood, she's managed to overcome much of the anger and pain from her past and grow to love herself helped along by her relationship with God. Serving as a minister in her church, she divides her time between writing, helping other young women realize their potential, and artfully dodging her pastor’s attempts at matchmaking. Still, she finds herself unprepared for the challenge she's faced with when a door from her past is flung open, spilling secrets even she was unaware of.
Elder Brandon Tatum has finally stepped out from under his father’s shadow and is looking forward to what God has in store for his new ministerial career. The last thing he has no time for is dealing with his feelings when it comes to stubborn, golden-eyed beauties who haunt his dreams. Widower Mason Jenson’s top priority is his daughter, Vivian. When a near-fatal accident jeopardizes her livelihood, his search for a living donor brings him face to face with a beautiful, golden-eyed woman who looks oddly familiar. Vivian’s grandmother, Victoria Branchett, would also do anything to ensure the health of her granddaughter. But in her mind, Mason Jensen is not to be trusted. Especially since she believes he is to blame for her daughter’s death.
As the years of secrets binding these four together begin to unravel, will they overcome their anger and prejudices to find the peace and love they have long desired?

"...And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch." Acts 11:26
When people hear the term "Christian" a number of things come to mind. Some see a bunch of racist, homophobic, hypocritical, self-righteous, stuck in the mud people who can't even follow their own rules. Others hear about a group of people who are ignorant, dumb, and stupid, unable to think for themselves unless they follow some antiquated book written by some guy about another guy who didn't even exist! Still more hear the term and envision acts of atrocity such as the Spanish Inquisition, rampant abuse, political scandals, and discordance.
No matter how you look at it, Christians in today's world are branded in a negative light, especially in the West. All the above I mentioned is not true. Yet, the brand is there, smeared on by others for a variety of reasons. With that in mind, lets talk -- how are the Faithful branded? What is it that brands us? How do people know the 'real deal'?

Today, Michigan drivers are required by law to have a no-fault automobile insurance policy that includes personal injury protection (PIP) benefits. On July 2, 2020 many changes to the existing no-fault auto insurance law will take effect, including giving Michigan drivers a choice in their level of PIP coverage. This reform law is giving drivers new coverage options to consider.
As part of Michigan Auto Insurance Reform, drivers will be able to select their preferred level of Personal Injury Protection Allowable Expenses (PIP AE), the coverage that pays for medical coverage if you are injured in an auto accident. Based on your eligibility and individual needs, you'll be able to select from the coverage options available or you may be able to waive PIP AE coverage altogether. These options are intended to help you save money on your auto insurance.

Noah Shaw is almost thirty and he still doesn’t know what he wants to be when he grows up. Torn between running his business as a limo driver for Hollywood’s elite, and feeling called to ministry, he prays for direction. But he never expects that direction to include finding a woman near-death on the front steps of his father’s church.
Hannah left her family and her faith when she moved to Hollywood looking for adventure. Instead of finding fame in the movies, she was lured into the life of an exotic dancer. Hopeless and ashamed, suicide seems like her only escape. Until the night Noah saves her life.
The Shaw family welcomes her into their home and gives her a chance to start over. When the shadows of her former life threaten to expose her past, she must choose between running away or fighting for the new life she’s built and the man she’s grown to love.

What if a group of people existed who were relatives of the people Jesus healed?
What if those people possessed special powers as a result of a DNA change that occurred with the healing?
What if those people survived the many attempts to wipe them out through the centuries and possessed many of the historical artifacts that would prove the Christian faith was real and relevant?
What if the great revelation was to occur this year, opening the world to all that they had saved and protected down through the centuries? The SOTH (Sect. Of. The. Healed) plans to release every major artifact and relic relevant to the proof of Jesus’ claims while he was on earth but the Cleansing Group has plans to wipe the SOTH out before they can release the archeological finds to the world.

2 Corinthians 6:18: "And I will be a father to you, and you shall be sons and daughters to me, says the Lord Almighty."
2 Samuel 7:14-15: "I will be a father to him, and he'll be a son to me. When he does wrong, I'll discipline him in the usual ways, the pitfalls and obstacles of this mortal life. But I'll never remove my gracious love from him."
Luke 15:20: "But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him."
Deuteronomy 1:31: "There you saw how the Lord your God carried you, as a father carries his son, all the way you went until you reached this place."
The Bible has many verses that talks about the duties, responsibilities, and acts of a father. As we celebrate Father's day, we want to take an in-depth look at the fatherhood of God. When our earthly fathers succeed in their duty, we praise God they follow the example He set. When they fail in that aspect, we praise God that He becomes the father we need.

Post Traumatic Stress Injury (PTSI), is a biological injury that develops after a personn has experienced or witnessed a terrifying event. While many people have difficulty adjusting and coping for a while after a traumatic event, they normally get better with time and don't develop PTSI. Although some show symptoms of PTSI like flashbacks, nightmares, anxiety and frightening thoughtsthat get worse and or last for months or even years, severely interfering with their daily lives.
PSTI first became known to the public in relation to war veterans who were unable to fully recover from the horrors they experienced or witnessed in war, the injury can also be triggered by various other traumatic events. Examples include mugging, assault, rape, torture, chile abuse, kidnapping, captivity, car accidents, train wrecks, plane crashes, bombings,or natural disasters like floods and earthquakes.

We've all experienced it -- life, disrupted. On a global scale, our lives have been collectively disrupted by COVID-19 and its aftermath. Jobs, finances, relationships -- it's all disrupted.Most of us seek the opposite of disruption, but what if we embraced it instead, seeing it as a sign that God is doing something new and big in our lives? We're obviously living in a time of enormous disruption right now, in big ways and small. Many of us are trying to hold it off as much as possible, but do you wonder whether there are ways God wants to use it to give us a new perspective and to clear out some space to do a new thing?

In today's society where the white policeman is accused of racism in their dealings with Black people, where does the Black policeman stand? As nationwide protests against police brutality and racial injustice contine to rage throughout the U.S., many black police officers are facing the intersection of their identity and profession.
Black officers also make up a declining percentage in many police departments throughout the country, which is in part due to years of deep distrust with law enforcement.
Being a black police officer during one of the largest periods civil unrest in recent history is hard as hell says retired police officer Charles P. Wilson, who is now national chairman of the Nat'l. Ass. of black law enforcement officers. Wilson served as the first black police chief in a suburb of Cleveland, Ohio, from 1988 to the mid 1990s. He says the death of George Floyd is disturbing and disappointing.

He makes a deal with her: “borrow” books from other wizards in return for a place to stay. Caught between her growing fondness for the wizard and her past with the crime syndicate, Skate doesn’t know where her loyalties lie. But she’d better figure it out, because there’s a new player in town, one whose magical hypnotism puts them all at risk.

Have you ever wondered how evil began? Or why God gave angels the free will to reject Him?
The Angelic Wars, First Rebellion is a musical novel where the book’s characters sing when the reader activates QR Codes.
It is the epic story of the internal struggles and external battles among the angels for the control of Heaven during Satan’s rebellion. This first book in a series is unlike any other action-adventure fantasy because its setting is in Heaven and guided by Biblical passages. Azarias and six other angels are commissioned as the Septemviri by God’s guardian cherub to seek out and conquer a rebellion. They are commanded to offer the rebellious ones the choice of mercy or spiritual warfare. Little do they know that they are up against the most powerful angel of all, Satan and his army consisting of a third of Heaven’s population.

Across the United States, hundreds of thousands of protesters gathered Wednesday for a ninth night to call for police accountability and justice for George Floyd. Earlier in the day, Minnesota prosecutors added a second-degree murder charge against former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, and charged three more former officers in Floyd's death.
The White House tweeted, and then later deleted a 58 second video that purported to show Antifa and professional anarchists staging bricks for use during protests against the killing of Floyd. This came as large peaceful protests unfolded in New York, Washington, Philadelphia and Los Angeles, and some cities lifted curfews or decided not to enforce the orders as unrest subsides.

Who's got your back? Most men will simply answer, "no one." Not many men have close friends in the sense that women do. We're more likely to form alliances than we are friendships. It doesn't have to be this way. Who's Got Your Back? will motivate men to build satisfying relationships which will be there during the ups and downs of life.
David Smith's new book, Who's Got Your Back? clearly presents the clarion call for men to be the kind of men modeled for us by Jesus. David shows us how we can be strong, task oriented, and achieving, but also warm-hearted and unmistakably relationship driven in the rough and tumble of everyday life.
This good book brings into sharp focus a genuine and functional and real-life definition of manliness. David Smith has skillfully woven stories with practical application strategies into a narrative as to how we build and support trusting relationships.

Because of George Floyd being held down with the policeman's knee on his neck and him repeatedly telling the officer that he couldn't breathe, he eventually passed away. Because of the officer's actions there are many demonstrations, even in Detroit. This has Colin Kaepernick offering to help pay legal fees of the protestors after their actions led to the policeman's arrest. The other 3 officers who stood by and watched are still free.
Also, there is this racist man on FB Sean Baker Sr. who said watching George Floyd's murder was glorious to watch.
Plotting the overthrow of a power-hoarding king, Commander Haylel trains the Malakim in the art of war. But when an omen forewarns that his fate rests in the loyalty of his favored lieutenant, Michael, Haylel must decide whether to remain subordinate to an oppressive tyrant or kill Michael and usurp the throne.

On Netflix, a reality dating show premiered. Participants more than blessed with their share of looks gather together in some luxurious place. Sexual energy pulses from the TV. You already know that some of these people are going to break off and end up on some flat surface somewhere until you hear the robotic voice say. "No sex allowed." From the trailer (I haven't watched the show) the object is to see if these people can connect with each other without the sexual aspect. It's an interesting premise for today's world where all sorts of sexual immorality is the order of the day. Ironic, too.
How astounding would it be then to hear there's a gathering of the virgins rising? Where men and women accept a call to purity because it's being obedient to the Lord? It's not that all of them are virgins in the physical sense of the word. They're accepting God's call to be pure in more than just body but body and spirit.

When I heard that Ravi Zacharias had passed away yesterday, I cried. Though the man never knew me, though we never had a chance to say hello, he left an impact in my life. Over ten years ago, I entered the world of apologetics. The first book I read by him was called "Jesus Among Other Gods". From that moment on, I devoured every word he had to say. He tackled the big questions of life with an intelligence and sensitivity that anyone of us could learn from. The written word was his tool. Through his ministry RZIM, he traveled the world with the intent to share the impact of Jesus on his life with everyone.
Tonight, we give tribute to an wonderful apologist, and servant of God. My guest co-host is Melissa Pellew. Melissa Pellew is a full-time missionary and community apologist with Ratio Christi serving as Co-Chapter Director, with her husband Devin, at Winthrop University in Rock Hill, SC, where they are equipping college students to defend the Christian Faith as well as engaging unbelieving and skeptical students. She has been involved in pro-life activism since 2006 in various capacities from sidewalk counseling at abortion clinics, mentoring expectant mothers and fathers, speaking on pro-life apologetics and conducting trainings at churches, conferences, youth groups and the college campus. On their internet podcast, “Theology Matters with The Pellews” on BlogTalk Radio, Melissa and Devin discuss and host debates on a wide number of Christian Apologetics and biblical worldview issues, including abortion and sexual ethics.

Immeasurable imagination. Unmitigated magic. Spectacular style.
The clockwork man is crafted, to begin with—commissioned by that terrible tyrant Time to serve as her slave for all eternity. His brain boasts balance wheels and torsion springs; he can wind himself up with a key in his side; and, most importantly, his gyroscopic tourbillon heart glimmers with pure diamond.
He is a living being and he is art, and he refuses to remain a slave forever. He therefore slips through Time’s fingers as the Sands of Time slip through the cracks of reality (at least, when the time cats aren’t using them as a litter box).
Among astounding adventures, despite harrowing hardships, and in between escaping interfering enchanters, the clockwork man seeks his imagination, his purpose, and his name.

Everyone on the planet has something to say about God. His love, foremost. His power, glory, honor, justice, holiness, and many, many, many more things. He is our Creator, our Redeemer. The Giver of Life and the great Judge.
But how often do we talk about God's sense of humor? How, despite our mix-ups, He gives us a second chance. The biblical people in the Bible that we tend to the deify aren't really all that different from us. How He takes a situation, flips it, and has us shaking our head.

"It's not about performing for Jesus. It about living for Jesus." Jon Fugler.
Truer words have not been spoken.
The world has shut down, but Christians face an opportunity they have never seen before and may never see again. This is the message Jon Edward Fugler presents in his new book, FRESH FAITH: Leaning on God in the Corona Crisis. He has sparked readership and response globally. “Your social life is on hold,” Fugler writes. “Your church life, too. Services have gone online. Sports and cultural events on your schedule are cleared away. Schools are closed. Workplaces are resorting to remote officing.” Fugler, a longtime author and Christian broadcast leader, implores believers not to waste their newfound free time. Instead of filling the hours with social media and binging on Netflix, he exhorts readers to invest in the most important relationship of their lives. The one with God. FRESH FAITH drives readers towards a deeper relationship with Jesus. Fugler tells his own story of isolation that led to a season that brought him closer than ever to God.

“To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die . . . A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.”
War has come to Algoran. The Gulstaa nation is determined to expand their territory with merciless resolve. Their end goal is revenge for a past defeat — they want to conquer the Mountain Mokta and anyone else in their way.
Jordan SnowFire is now the Mokta Chieftess. She has the daunting task of stopping a conflict she never asked for. Will she seek the wisdom of God or the wisdom of her tribe? What impact will the blood of SnowFire flowing through her veins have on the way she conducts this war? How far will she go to protect her family and the Mokta people?
Meanwhile, Erica Melendez finds herself trapped in the middle of the hostilities. Tragedy forces her away from the Ullvarr village and into circumstances she never imagined when she came to this world. Can she survive long enough to be reunited with Jordan?
Loyalties are tested. Decisions are made. And Algoran will never be the same after Jordan’s Arrow finds its target.

Ahmaud Arbery was killed in February about 2 miles from his home in a neighborhood outside Brunswick, Georgia. Gregory McMichael told police they saw him running and believd he was a burglary suspect, so he and his son armed themselves, got in a truck and followed him. They told police Arbery attacked them after one of them got out of the truck with a shotgun.
Arbery's family and their attorneys say Arbery was out for a jog when he was killed. They believe he was the victim of racial profiling and have called the killing a lynching.

"Karma's gonna get you!" "Karma's a -----!" "That's bad karma!" "Put good karma into the universe." "I believe in karma."
Growing up, I often heard phrases and terms such as, "God don't like ugly!" "God's gonna get you!" The focus on who would ultimately decide one's punishment in life rested on God. Nowadays, believers and non-believers alike, add 'karma' to the equation of justice and remembrance.
But what exactly is karma? If we control our karma, does that control our actions in the present and the future? Is karma good? Is it bad? Do you need it? Can Christians synchronize the Eastern philosophical concept of karma with the righteous judgement of God? Does it really matter?
Marcia Montenegro from Christian Answers for the New Age returns as we talk about the concept of karma. Ultimately the question, got karma? And if you do, do you really want it?

Hundreds of demonstrators, a few of them armed, gathered in Lansing and many did not wear masks or socially distance. Police checked their temperatures before some were allowed intoo the capitol, where lawmakers were debating.
Governor Whitmer extended her stay-at-home mandate earlier this month until May 15th. The protest was organized by Michigan United for Liberty. It called for state businesses to reopen on May 1 in violation of state orders.
One state senator said several of her colleagues wore bulletproof vests.
Jason is an expert at running from his past. But when it catches up, he finds himself hiding in a peculiar inn listening to a tale from centuries past.
The story is Anargen's, a teen who is pulled from all he loves to follow his oaths of loyalty to the fabled King of the Realms. Together with his mentor, Cinaed, he rides north on a special quest to mediate peace talks between ancient foes—the men of Ecthelowall and the dwarfs of Ordumair. Nothing goes as planned. Many on both sides of the dispute despise Anargen's Order. Worse, an arcane evil has returned to the North. This "Grey Scourge" seeks to ruin the peace talks and ensure a lost treasure held by the dwarfs is never found by those for whom it is meant.
As Anargen's story unfolds, Jason begins to wonder whether it is truly just a fable. He soon finds himself drawn into the conflict Anargen faced. A battle which has shaped and can destroy his world.

As of this writing there have been 2.83 million cases of COVID-19 confirmed worldwide. The U. S. tops the chart in all areas.
It's common knowledge that the states have implemented quarantine procedures in order to mitigate the spread of the pandemic. For the U. S., in particular churches, there is a divide.
This was illustrated during the Easter holiday. Some churches defied state executive orders and assembled by the hundreds. With a righteous anger, they willingly accepted the imposition of punitive fines, As one commentator was quoted as saying, "The President is not my God." Not to mention, Hebrews 10:25 which reads: "Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching."
Others choose alternative methods such as virtual services, staying isolated and waiting it out. The divide is filled with ridicule as those who defy executive orders wag their fingers in shame to those who choose to obey them.
The reverse is also true as those who choose to self-quarantine shake their head, possibly citing Romans 13: 1-2 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
For believers, it centers around the question, 'Does God approve of the quarantine?"

It's been said that the coronavirus pandemic came from a bat who had the disease and was eaten by a human who became infected and gave it to others. That in Wuhan South China they have markets that have wild animal sections where live and slaughtered species were for sale, including snakes, beavers, badgers, civet cats, foxes, peacocks, porcupines among other animals. The markets were closed in January, but according to recent news reports, some have reopened selling dogs, cats bats, lizards and scorpions among other species.
Young CIA officer Talia Inger has reconciled with the man who assassinated her father, but that doesn't mean she wants him hovering over her every move and unearthing the painful past she's trying to put behind her. Still, she'll need him--and the help of his star grifter, Valkyrie--if she hopes to infiltrate the Jungle, the first ever crowdsourced crime syndicate, to rescue a group of kidnapped refugee children.
But as Talia and her elite team of thieves con their way into the heart of the Jungle, inching ever closer to syndicate boss the White Lion, she'll run right up against the ragged edge of her family's dark past. In this game of cat and mouse, it's win . . . or die. And in times like that, it's always good to have someone watching your back.

Most people of color have a greater burden of chronic health conditions. African American and Native Americans get high blood pressure at younger ages and under less coontrol which causes greater harm to their organs. Puerto Ricans have higher rates of asthma and Black boys are three times likely to die of asthma as their white counterparts. Only 1 in 5 African Americans or 1 in 6 Hispanics have a job where they can work from home.
People of color are more likely to live in densely populated areas and in multi-populated areas and in multi-generated housing, which makes them more susceptible to the virus.
We are being asked to wash our hands repeatedly but 3% of the Navado population nation don't have running water. People of color that get the virus, have more complications from it.

Many of us attend church to learn about God, to learn about ourselves, and to connect with God and others. Along with that is a general belief that the church is spiritually safe. After all, the best source of knowledge about God comes from His self-revelation, which is contained in His inspired, inerrant word: the Bible. We rely on church leaders to interpret the Bible, to carefully teach and guide the church family while keeping false teaching on the other side of the doors. But like a virus on a physical level, false teaching can operate on a spiritual level. A church leader may be introduced to new concept or spiritual tool by what is believed to be a reliable source. It may be embraced as a path to a better understanding of God and self. Even with the best intentions and efforts of spiritual leaders, they become spiritually infected and pass their infection to their flock. In Richard Rohr and the Enneagram Secret, we explore the spiritual infection of those who have embraced Richard Rohr and the Enneagram he has delivered into the church through his disciples.
The claims for the Enneagram are simple. Supposedly it is an ancient tool used by some of the Early Church Fathers. It is claimed to be the "face of God" and each Enneagram number is an individual spiritual path to deeper spiritual understanding and fuller self-awareness. But what if this seemingly harmless tool is in fact one of the largest deceptions perpetrated upon the Christian church in recent history?

Captain Brett Crozier was relieved of duty after sharing concerns for his crew onboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt in a letter that later leaked to the media. Crozier wrote a memo warning Navy leadership that decisive action was needed to save the lives of the ship's crew.
Removing the majority of personnel from a deployed US nuclear aircraft carrier and isolating them for two weeks may seem like an extraordinary measure, but this is a necessary risk.
He was accued of not using the chain of command to convey his concerns.
Does the truth matter? Yes it does. In the midst of a worldwide pandemic, truth DEFINITELY matters. COVID-19 has shaped history like the Bubonic Plague did. We can only pray that COVID-19 doesn't take 200 million lives like its distant predecessor. As countries enact policies and procedures to protect their people, the world waits for a vaccine, a cure, or something to negate this. Health care facilities are packed. Health care workers are stressed, afraid, and doing their jobs to help others. Large scale gatherings are restricted.
You would think truth would be an important part of the discussion. However, on March 27th, the New York Times published an article entitled: The Religious Right’s Hostility to Science Is Crippling Our Coronavirus Response. In it, the author does a bang up job in presenting the 'religious right' read 'Christians' as 'hostile' to science. Cherry-picking a few people who choose to disobey the laws of the land, the author makes hasty generalizations, paints with a broad brush, and uses strawman arguments on which to stand. The fact of the matter is that it's simply not true. The article targeted the Cornwall Alliance as well, misrepresenting their stance the coronavirus and a few other things.
When Dr. Beisner reached out to me about their response to this article, of course I said yes.

I honestly believe that no one gets married with the intention to get a divorce. Most of us take our vows seriously. To have and to hold. In sickness and in health. Till Death do us part. In the confines of marriage, there's a lot we learn about God through learning about how we are supposed to love each other. In the past, Christendom has been divided on the issue about divorce. Some believe that divorce is never an option. Others believe it is in certain circumstances. There are those who say there are only special circumstances that God will ALLOW divorce. Others says not.
Whether or not we agree about divorce, the bible is very clear -- God hates divorce. No ifs, ands, or buts, about it. So where does that leave the believer, who for one reason or another have gone the route of divorce? Hopefully in the confines of marriage, we learn about God's love, patience, long-suffering, devotion, etc. However, I submit that we can learn about God through divorce.
With me to discuss this are panel of Christian authors who have been through divorce.

These first-time authors would try to look for answers in Writers Digest or ask for feedback on, Facebook, Google or YouTube, but they weren’t really getting the help they needed. And I’ve studied this problem for Eight Years and have found the solution! A FOUR MODULE TEMPLATE THAT TAKES YOU FROM CONCEPTION TO PUBLICATION!
This course is designed to teach first-time authors how to write, publish and market nonfiction books. This course does that by showing authors how to GET WRITTEN, GET PUBLISHED AND GET PURCHASED!This course is ideal for anyone desiring to write memoirs, autobiography, self-help, short stories, inspirational, transformational, informational writing . Reference books, subject books and textbooks.
Suitable for: Speakers, Divorcees, Ministry Leaders, Pastors, Entrepreneurs, Ex Pastors Wives, Coaches and Teachers.

Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest. Revelations 15:4
The last time I checked a map, there were confirmed cases of COVID-19 all over the world. As of the time of this writing there were over 278,000 confirmed, 11,554 deaths, and 92,906 recoveries. Countries hit by the virus have implemented measures to stop the spread. Here in the U. S., states have shut down businesses and venues. Some of us are practicing 'social distancing'. Others aren't. Financial markets continue to spiral in volatility. Chaos is everywhere.
Theories abound -- it's an experiment by the Illuminati; the New World order is trying to do population control; it's all propaganda and the virus DOESN'T exist; it's the government covering up some other nefarious scheme -- the list is truly endless.
Have we asked ourselves this question: is COVID-19 a judgement from God?

There's a grandma in Spain who says, "When death comes, it comes." She walks 200 meters to the bar for a beer with whoever's around. She lives in a village and she and about 30 people gather in the bar drinking and raising their glasses and joking about the Spaniards who are in a frenzy over COVID 19. On Saturday the country decl;ared a state of emergency. The highways are cut off, travel is limited, schools and universities are closed and the grocery stores are runing out of stock. But in the village where grandma was born 80 years ago, life goes on. Who would have thought that animals would
When I first connected with Lewis Smith via the show, he obliterated all the lies that famous psuedo-science, and misted history book called the Da Vinci code had spread. He further took up the mantle and started to write in the same vein but with a blend of historical fact and truth. His first book, The Testimonium published to wild success, followed up by The Redemption of Pontius Pilate, Matthew’s Autograph, Theophilus, and most recently his fifth novel The Gnostic Library.
Meeting Lewis Smith is almost like meeting Indiana Jones. Our favorite whip-wielding archaeologist is a professor. Lewis is a teacher of history to six different grades. Indiana searches the world for wonderful and strange artifacts. Lewis mines ancient riverbeds to find what was left behind by long ago inhabitants. Indiana is a man of many talents and background. Many of Lewis's friends say the same thing. Not only a teacher and an archaelogist, Lewis is a Navy war veteran, world world traveler, husband, father, and an all around nice guy.
Most important of all, he's a follower of Jesus Christ.

From the beginning, God designed marriage to play a pivotal role in His strategy for battle against the evil one. The differences between men and women were intended to give us a tactical advantage, enabling married couples to cover each other's backs, but the enemy seeks to exploit those differences to undermine our unity. Satan temps wives and husbands to fight head-to-head against each other. God wants us to learn to battle back-to-back against the real enemy, defending each other's greatest areas of vulnerability with our unique strengths.

This illness has since spread around the globe, and the World Health Organization (WHO) has characterized it as a pandemic. The disease caused by the virus is called COVID-19.
Coronaviruses are a group of viruses that can cause a range of symptoms including a runny nose, cough, sore throat and fever. Some are mild, such as the common cold, while others are more likely to lead to pneumonia.They're usually spread through direct contact with an infected person.
Key symptoms to watch for include fever, cough and shortness of breath or difficullty breathing. However, the illness can also cause body aches, sore throat, vomiting and diarrhea. Up to 80 percent of those who become infected appear to have mild symptoms and may not even know they're sick. But in severe cases, the illness can cause pneumonia, kidney failure and death according to the World Health Organization.
Ripped straight from the headlines -- a story of to shake us to the very core.
After surviving an armed student siege at Hunter High School, Australian school counsellor Danielle Bennetton emerges from the carnage and is thrust into the spotlight first as an eye witness and, ultimately, as a celebrity psychologist – racked by guilt.
Three years later, Danielle locks herself away in a beachside cabin, surrounds herself with all the multimedia evidence from the coroner’s inquest, and recounts the events from that Black Friday, minute by minute, in an attempt to understand the tragedy in context, and the forces of evil that stalked the halls that day.
A gripping, insightful, and haunting work of fiction that dares to look behind today’s headlines in search of truth, hope, and the hand of God amidst our chaos and pain.

In South Carolina lalst week, Black Voters Matter held a forum. Health care specifically Medicare for All, and medical costs prompted the largest number of moans and amens. When the organization conducted an on-site poll, Sanders, the candidate who has called for universal health care, lost by a few votes. Some say that Bernie Sanders is not a Democrat, and that his promises are just that, promises. That it's said that Biden is thought to be the one to beat Trump.
M.L.Kohn, 69, a retired science educator in Columbia, said that days before the South Carolina primary, she was still deciding between Biden and Sanders. She liked Sanders' progressive policies and that he had galvanized young people, but removing Trump from the White House is her top priority. So she went with Biden.

How do you deal with our problems? What problems do we come across in our work or our lives? Is there a connection between problems and opportunities, why or why not? Problems don't matter, solutions do. Do you agree or disagree? What was the last problem you solved and how did you do it? How do we solve our problems? Well, we could identify the issues in order to be clear about what the problem is; we should understand everyone's interest who's involved with the issue; we could make a list of possible solutions; we can evaluate the options and select one or more; document agreements and agree on contingencies.
It is no secret that the moral fabric of the United States has unraveled at breakneck speed during recent decades. And while we have made progress addressing some issues such as sexual harassment, many other cultural changes are leaving us anxious and concerned. Mass shootings. Drug addictions. Sexual Confusion. Toxic politics. A lack of common decency. All are problems that lack easy solutions. And for those who are heavily vested in the future of our nation—those with children and grandchildren, for example—our situation is heart-wrenching.
While there may be no easy solutions to our complex social malaise, we are by no means powerless. Through prayer, the all-wise and all-powerful Creator of our universe has given otherwise ordinary people an amazing opportunity to reverse the negative tide. What the people of God do in their prayer closets has the power to change the very course of history!
Family, church, community, and education are four of the most pivotal building blocks of a healthy society, and the degradation we see on a national level has its roots in these four arenas. Thus, much of this devotional’s attention is given to praying not only for various levels of government, but also for the building blocks. Grassroots prayer is where the greatest potential for change lies! And regardless of whether we are young, old, or in between, we can each play a vital role in helping our great nation reach its full potential. We do this both for God’s glory and for the sake of the generations that will follow in our footsteps. TUNE IN TO WIN A COPY OF THIS BOOK! WE'LL TELL YOU HOW*

Some signs of memory loss typically have been blown away as a regular part of the aging process, but when the problems start to regularly affect the person's level of functioning and it becomes more difficult to remember recently learned facts or retain new information and details about their own life history or the inability to recall vocabulary, it becomes serious.
Some report there are changes in behavior such as possibly having hallucinations, delusios, or paranoia. Some changes in sleep patterns could also be a sign.
Tonight is the last Friday in 2019. We will be discussing whether we want 2019 to last longer or if we can't wait for it to be over. Here are some New Year Quotes: A time to say goodbye and a time to say hello. A time to bid farewell and a time to look forward. A time to let go and a time to learn new things, that is what happens when the New Year rings in; A new year is a time for inspirational dreams but more importantly a time to set your goals to see the drams turn into reality; There is nothing magical about the flip of the calendar, but it represents a clean break, a new hope, and a blank canvas.

Some months ago, I shared on my social media feed a post a funny incident. I was driving home one evening and I kept wondering why it was so dark. Then I took off my sunglasses. How bright the world became then!
No one looks out of a foggy window expecting to see clearly. Nor, do you pick up a mirror covered dirt or grime and expect to see a clear reflection of yourself. With the advancement of New Age thought and philosophy once again diverging on the masses, while its dark tenets are being swallowed up with sweet sounding thoughts and feel good messages, my guest and I will bring to your attention the dark mirror of the New Age.

The patriot preachers during the American Revolution played a major role in forming the ideology of the American people that eventually produced the federal Constitution. Learned men shaped the American mind and prepared the nation to accept a republican government founded on the concept of popular sovereignty and the principles of republican government found in the pages of Scripture.
In this new book, Bill Fortenberry retraces the work of patriotic theologians and identifies specific biblical principles which formed the foundations of American government. Bill encourages his readers to take the Bible in one hand and the Constitution in the other hand and discover the exact same principles of government in both documents.
This incredible book will give you the same theological grounding that led our forefathers to establish America as a nation- under God.

Hector Vega's story is a must-read because hope is found within its pages - a hope that is persistent even when there seems to be no way out. His story will grip you as you walk with him through the dark night of the soul that eventually leads to the daybreak of hope.
Hector shares his story for one reason . . .
If God can radically transform him - a drug addict who lived in immense darkness - He can transform you. You might be a drug addict or a seemingly regular "Joe" or "Jane" who has hidden struggles - scars of abuse, failure, loneliness, depression, anxiety, rejection, or void of purpose and meaning in life - and you need a change; a change in thoughts, feelings, or behaviors. Maybe you are at a point where you feel hopeless; believing that there is no way you can crawl out of the hole you find yourself in.
But there is a way. And there is hope.
And that's why Arrested by Grace just may be the most important book you will ever read . . . because the grace and unconditional love that captured Hector is available to you!

Impeachment in the United States is the process by which a legislature (usually in the form of the lower house) brings charges against a civil officer of government for crimes alleged to have been committed, analogous to the bringing of an indictment by a grand jury. At the federal level, this is at the discretion of the House of Representatives. Most impeachments have concerned alleged crimes committed while in office, though there have been a few cases in which officials have been impeached and subsequently convicted for crimes committed prior to taking office. The impeached official remains in office until a trial is held. That trial, and their removal from office if convicted, is separated from the act of impeachment itself. These proceedings are conducted by the upper house of the legislature, which at the federal level is the Senate. However,, impeachment is not a criminal proceeding, as the defendant does not risk forfeiture of life, liberty or property; the only penalty is removal from office upon conviction by two-thirds of the senators present. Upon conviction a second vote is held to determine by majority vote of the senators present, if the convicted office holder shall be barred from holding further federal office.
Elijah’s friends are dead, and without a miracle, he’s next.
Elijah is a young prophet studying the Torah, when the soldiers of Queen Jezebel burn his school and massacre his teachers. He escapes, barely, but finds himself on the run and hunted as Queen Jezebel attempts to stamp out the worship of the Hebrew God in Israel and replace it with the worship of Ba’al.
As the queen’s soldiers close in on him, Elijah discovers a little-known promise in the Scroll of Deuteronomy and prays for something impossible – that God would turn the skies to bronze and stop the rain on the kingdom that has abandoned Him.
And God says yes.
As drought and famine grip the cloudless land of Israel, God tells Elijah to hide and sends him to the land of Tyre, to a widow and her son who are on the edge of starvation. In Tyre Elijah finds a darkness at the heart of the city, a darkness that threatens to consume Israel next. But even if he survives, will Israel listen to his warning?

I'm not sure how I came across the book now. I think my compadre, the infamous Peter Younghusband of Perspective by Peter, had put it on his TBR list on Goodreads. I can't remember. Nonetheless, I picked up the book the Glittering Web on a whim.
It was the best decision I had made.
I entered a fictional world set in a near-future context. A world where New Age theology reigns supreme and supposedly is the best thing to happen to mankind. All religions have been properly scrubbed and fit into the context of New Age theology along with technology used to enhance existential experiences. The Glittering Web of the New Age shines so bright in this context.
But all that glitters is not gold...

In reading one of Healthline's newsletters, I found the word vegan was coined in 1944 by a small group of vegetarians who broke away from the Leicester Vegetarian Society to form the Vegan Society. The term was chosen by combining the first and last letters of the word vegetarian. It is currently defined as a way of eating and living that excludes the exploitation of cruelty to animals as much as possible.
Different types of veganism, dietary, refers to those who choose to avoid animal probucts. Whole food vegans who favor a diet rich in foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts and seeds. Junk-food vegans rely on processed vegan food, such as vegan meats, fries, vegan frozen dinners and vegan desserts such as Oreo cookies and non-dairy ice cream. Raw food vegans consume raw fruits, nuts and seeds, as well as foods cooked at temperatures below 115 degrees. Low fat, raw food vegans, aslo known as fruitarians eat nuts, avocados and coconuts and rely mainly on fruit. They avoid meat, chicken, fish, shellfish, eggs, dairy and honey.
Most people, when they hear you are a Christian author, automatically have an idea of what your career looks like, even when they won't read a word of your stories...but they just KNOW what your writing is about because you're a Christian author or an author who is Christian. With the title comes a lot of things unique to this industry, whether indie or trade published.
About a month or so ago, I came across a blog post that was going around in the various Christian writing circles I am a part of. As I read the contents, I kept wanting to get one of those church fans from my childhood and throw it at the author like the mothers of the church with the big, ornate hats used to throw the fans at the preacher whenever he said something worth throwing fans at.
Fan throwing, by the way, is a sign of agreement. Now you know.
The author of the blog post shared his insights into this thing we call Christian writing and publishing. With candid transparency he shared the ups and downs, the frustrations and high points. It was so very well thought out that I added my two cents in his comments section along with the words, "I'd like to have you on my show."

Squanto was the name of a young Indian child who was abducted, carried to Spain and sold. After 10 years, he returned to find his tribe had been wiped out by an epidemic infection and he realized he was the last of his Patuxet tribe.
He was there when the Mayflower landed and because he spoke English, he was the interpreter between the Pilgrims and another local tribe. He taught the Pilgrims to sow and fertilize crops. Because the crops were so plentiful that year, the Pilgrims decided to invite Squanto and some of the other tribes to join them for a dinner. This became the beginning of a yearly celebration, and in the middle of the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln prompted by a series of editorials written in the local paper, proclaimed a national Thanksgiving Day, to be celebrated on the 26th, the final Thursday of November 1863.

According to a report released this week by the Defense Suicide Prevention Office, 139 active-duty soldiers, 68 sailors, 60 airmen and 58 Marines died by suicide last year, 40 more service members than the previous year. This figure is higher than the sum of deaths reported by the individual services in January, and exceeds the previous record of 321 in 2012. The army in 2017 saw 114 deaths by suicide, the Navy, 65, and the Marine Corps, 43. Only the Air Force saw a decline in suicide from the previous year. In 2017, it had 63.
An analysis of Defense Department suicides in 2017 published this year found that roughly half of those who completed suicide that year had a known mental health condition and half had contact with the military health system with 90 days of their deaths. Most were male (90%) and white (81%) and more than half had a history of deployment (57%).
Is the Bible still relevant? Some may decry the decline of the Bible’s impact in our secular age, but Scripture still exerts a profound influence on today’s culture. Even people who have never opened a Bible know what a Good Samaritan is. People know what the term “prodigal son” refers to even if they have never read Jesus’s parable about him. What is it about these stories and other biblical passages that makes them so enduring and life-changing?
In 12 New Testament Passages that Changed the World, Joseph Bentz explores some of the most probing New Testament scriptures and demonstrates their ability to touch all types of people. These twelve passages and others have transformed art, literature, music, film, law, popular culture, the church, and countless individual lives. The Holy Spirit’s life-giving breath continues to infuse them with holy power even today.

The concept of short-term lending is far from new- It really is centuries old. Much of its more organized origins can be traced back to the US in the late 1800s,where it was common for workers to take out loans before they received their wages. These were the days when most people found it difficult to get bank accounts and overdrafts were almost unheard of. Alongside pawnbroking and check cashing, short-term loans were vital in helping millions of blue-collar workers stay afloat in harsh times. Where did the industry come from and how did it develop?
Here are five sources for credit that can be worse then payday loans: car title loans; pawn shops; credit card cash advances; late payments and bounced checks; utility bills.
A lot of people like the idea of heaven but most of us have a problem with hell. After all, why would a good, loving God create a place like that? A place of everlasting torment. In fact, this whole idea of hell can, for some people, be a stumbling block to faith in Christ. To think that a God will commit someone to eternal torment seems like overkill, right?
It's one of those things about the God of the Bible that we just don't like. We'll happily accept His love, bask in His mercy and wrap ourselves in His arms. But things such as judgement, and punishment, yeah, no one wants to hear about or stomach that. We tend to shy away from it because, in our very limited understanding, surely God can give us a break. Hell must then be a metaphorical understanding of evil. Or, maybe Hell isn't hell but just a pit stop to annilhilation.
But I'm here to unequivocally say, Hell is real. Joining me tonight is my guest co-host and contributor, Christopher Weeks. Join in the conversation by calling in at 929-477-1965 and press 1 to be live on air. Or, click on the link here: http://tobtr.com/11709638.

And that’s exactly where Aeron wants to be.
